Question
Problem 50P
The normal lens on a 35-mm camera has a focal length of 50.0 mm. Its aperture diameter varies from a maximum of 25 mm (f/2) to a minimum of 3.0 mm (f/16). Determine the resolution limit set by diffraction for f/2 and f/16. Specify as the number of lines per millimeter resolved on the film. Take λ = 550 nm.
Solution
The first step in solving 25 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Problem 50PThe normal lens on a 35-mm camera has a focal length of 50.0 mm.
