Question:

The colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) has the largest eyes documented in the animal kingdom, at least 27 cm in diameter. The eyes are large in order to see in dim light, but they also have terrific resolution. If the squid's eyes are free of defects, find the maximum distance at which the squid could distinguish a pair of lights on a ship that are separated by 1.8 m. Assume 555-nm light, a pupil diameter of 11 cm, and an average index of refraction for the eye of 1.36.
