Lecture
Resolution Power of the Human Eye
Description
This lecture explores the resolution power of the human eye, focusing on the angle at which two sources can still be distinguished. By applying the Rayleigh criterion and the small angle approximation, the minimum angle for perceiving a difference between two sources is calculated. Geometrical considerations lead to determining the minimum distance at which this distinction can be made, resulting in a value of approximately 820 meters.
