Distance at which headlights be resolved as separate points


The headlights of a pickup truck are 1.32 m apart.

a. What is the greatest distance at which these headlights can be resolved as separate points of light on a photograph taken with a camera whose aperture has a diameter of 12.5mm? (Use a wavelength of 555nm for the light, and neglect atmospheric effects.)

b. What is the greatest distance at which these headlights can be resolved as separate points of light by the human eye, with a pupil size of 5.00mm and an index of refraction of 1.336? Also neglect atmospheric effects for this calculation and use the same wavelength as above.
