Problem 7: A photographer is
attempting to take a photo of two ships on the horizon which are
separated by a distance L = 9.8 m. The
camera has an aperture of D = 1.1 cm.
Assume the range of visible light is 400 nm - 700 nm.
Part (a) Find the minimum angle of
resolution in degrees.
Part (b) What is the maximum distance, in
meters, that the ships can be from the photographer to get a
resolvable picture?
