Question
The pupil of an eagle’s eye has a diameter of 6.0 mm.
Two field mice are separated by 0.010 m.
From a distance of 186 m, the eagle sees them as one unresolved object and dives toward them at a speed of 20 m/s.
Assume that the eagle’s eye detects light that has a wavelength of 550 nm in vacuum.
How much time passes until the eagle sees the mice as separate objects?
