The human eye has an approximate angular resolution of phi = 5.8 xx 10^(-4) rad and a typical photprinter prints a minimum of 300 dpi (dots per inch = 2.54 cm). At what minimal distance z should a printed page be held so that one does not see the individual dots ?

Answer»

10 CM
12.5 cm
13 cm
14.5 cm

Solution :The linear distance between two dots is
`L = (2.54)/(300) cm APPROX 0.84 xx 10^(-2) cm`
At a distance of Z cm this subtends an angle.
`phi -l/z therefore z = (l)/(phi) = (0.84 xx 10^(-2)cm)/(5.8 xx 10^(-4)) approx 14.5 cm`.
