Answer:
C. 10⁻³ rads
Explanation:
Here, we shall use Rayleigh's Criterion to find out the angular resolution of Cat's eye during day light. Rayleigh's Criterion is written as follows:
θ = λ/a
where,
θ = angular resolution of Cat's eye = ?
λ = wavelength = 500 nm = 5 x 10⁻⁷ m
a = slit width of eye = 0.5 mm = 5 x 10⁻⁴ m
Therefore,
θ = (5 x 10⁻⁷ m/5 x 10⁻⁴ m)
Therefore,
θ = 0.001
θ = Sin⁻¹(0.001)
θ = 0.001 rad = 1 x 10⁻³ rad
Hence, the correct answer is:
C. 10⁻³ rads
