Question:

If you peered through a 0.75-mm hole at an eye chart, you would probably notice a decrease in visual acuity. Compute the angular limit of resolution, assuming that it’s determined only by diffraction; take λ0 = 550 nm. Compare your results with the value of 1.7 × 10-4 rad, which corresponds to a 4.0-mm pupil.
