A pinhole camera has a small circular aperture of diameter D. Light from distant objects passes through the aperture into an otherwise dark box, falling on a screen at the other end of I lie box. The aperture in a pinhole camera has diameter D = 0.600 mm. Two point sources of light of wavelength 550 mil are at a distance L from the hole. The separation between the sources is 2.80 cm, and they are just resolved by the camera. What is I?

Coherent light of wavelength 501.5 nm is sent through two parallel slits in an opaque material. Each slit is 0.700 m wide. Their centers are 2.80 m apart.
