Assume your eye has an aperture diameter of 3.00 mm at night when bright headlights are pointed at it. 1) at what distance can you see two headlights separated by 1.80 m as distinct? assume a wavelength of 550 nm, near the middle of the visible spectrum. (express your answer to two significant figures.)

The distance is 6259.31 meters.

Explanation:

We shall use the Reyligh criterion to solve the problem

For diffraction due to circular aperture we have

Assuming that human eye is circular we have

Applying the given values we have

8.1 x 10³ m

Explanation:

D = diameter of the aperture =3 mm = 0.003 m

x = distance between the two headlights = 1.80 m

λ = wavelength of the visible spectrum = 550 x 10⁻⁹ m

d = distance of the headlights from eyes = ?

Using Reyleigh's criterion,

d = 8047.7 m

d = 8.1 x 10³ m

sleep paralysis is a parasomnia, events associated with sleep.

sleep paralysis happens when you are in the middle of waking up or falling asleep. it is the feeling of being conscious but unable to move. it definitely involves hallucinations.

i had a friend that had sleep paralysis and he told me a story one time where he was laying in bed and he couldn't move his body no matter how hard he tried and there was someone standing in the corner of his room coming towards him. he couldn't move and you can't "wake up" because you are already conscious. sometimes sleep paralysis can be triggered by frequent waking up during the night based off of multiple trips to the bathroom, or if you had ever been abused, sleep paralysis can start happening from things like that.

if you answer my question i will answer yours
