(b) A car passes you on the highway and you notice the taillights of the car are 1.16 m apart. Assume that the pupils of your eyes have a diameter of 7.2 mm and index of refraction of 1.36. Given that the car is 14.1 km away when the taillights appear to merge into a single spot of light because of the effects of diffraction, what wavelength of light does the car emit from its taillights (what would the wavelength be in vacuum)?
Okay so i know the formula is
Theta = Index of Refraction* Wavelength / Distance
How do i find the limiting angle of resolution in order to get the wavelenght
