Question:

The pupil of the human eye can vary in diameter from \(2.00 \mathrm{~mm}\) in bright light to \(8.00 \mathrm{~mm}\) in dim light. The cye has a focal length of about \(25 \mathrm{~mm}\), and the visible spectrum extends from \(390 \mathrm{~nm}\) (violet) to \(750 \mathrm{~nm}\) (red). What range of Airy disk radii is possible for the eye? (Note that the light-sensitive cells on the retina have radii ranging from \(0.75 \mu \mathrm{m}\) to \(3.0 \mu \mathrm{m}\).)
