For what distance is ray optics a good approximation when the aperture is 3 mm wide and the wavelength is 500 nm?

  1. A 15 m
  2. B 16 m
  3. C 17 m
  4. D 18 m
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 18 m

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( z = \frac{a^2}{\lambda} \) \( z = \frac{(3 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m})^2}{500 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m}} \) \( z = 18 \, \text{m} \)
