Ray Optics

Question:

The distance estimation for which ray optics is good approximation for an aperture of 3 mm and wavelength 300 nm would be:

Options:

40 m

30 m

20 m

10 m

Correct Answer:

30 m

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 30 m

Given:
a = 3 mm = 3 × 10⁻³ m
λ = 300 nm = 3 × 10⁻⁷ m

Calculation:
a²/λ = (3 × 10⁻³)² / (3 × 10⁻⁷)
= 9 × 10⁻⁶ / 3 × 10⁻⁷
= 3 × 10¹
= 30 m
