Treat each of your eyes as a circular aperture of diameter 3.5 m m. Light of wavelength 500 n m is used to view two point sources that are 114 m distant from you. How far apart must these two point sources be if they are just resolved by your eye? Assume that the resolution is diffraction limited, use Rayleigh s criterion.
