You stand on a straight desert road at night and observe a vehicle approaching. this vehicle is equipped with two small headlights that are 0.657 m apart. at what distance, in kilometers, are you marginally able to discern that there are two headlights rather than a single light source? take the wavelength of the light to be 549 nm and your pupil diameter as 4.63 mm.

4.54168 km

Explanation:

Angular resolution is given by

where,

= Wavelength = 549 nm

D = Diameter of pupil = 4.63 mm

but for small angle

where

d = Distance between the lights = 0.657 m

The distance at which you will be able to marginally discern that there are two headlights rather than a single light source is 4.54168 km

hi there!

your question asks at which segment does freezing occur.

since we're talking about water, the freezing point of water will be 32 degrees fahrenheit or below.

hope this ! ~
