Resolution

Understand that light passing through an aperture will diffract causing a point object to become a spot.Realise that a consequence of diffraction is that it will make images of point objects impossible to resolve.State the Rayleigh criterion for resolution.Use the Rayleigh criterion to calculate the minimum distance that two points can be resolved for a given aperture.Understand how diffraction limits the resolving power...
