The distance for which ray optics becomes a good approximation for an aperture of 0.3 cm and a light of wavelength \(6000 Å\) is

  1. A 12 m
  2. B 15 m
  3. C 24 m
  4. D 30 m
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 15 m

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Z_F = \frac{a^2}{\lambda}\) \(Z_F = \frac{(0.3 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m})^2}{6000 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m}}\) \(Z_F = \frac{9 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}^2}{6 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}}\) \(Z_F = 15 \text{ m}\)
