  5. Objectives • Understand what is meant by resolution • Apply the Rayleigh criterion

  6. Introductory Video: Rayleigh Criteria

  7. Reading Activity Questions?

  8. Rayleigh Criterion • Diffraction is a way of life • Diffraction occurs in all lenses, including your eye • In diffraction there are maxima and minima • In order to see two objects as two separate objects, you need to separate the maxima for those objects

  9. Rayleigh Criterion • The Rayleigh criterion gives the minimum separation angle in which the two objects can just be resolved

  10. Rayleigh Criterion • The criterion is that the central maximum of one of the sources is formed at the first minimum of the second

  11. Rayleigh Criterion • Two unresolved sources • Two well-resolved sources

  12. Rayleigh Criterion • In diffraction, the first minima for a rectangular slit of width b occurs at: • The first minima for a circular slit of diameter b occurs at: • Therefore, objects can be resolved if their separation angle exceeds  (in radians!)

  13. Rayleigh Criterion • If two objects are separated by a distance s and their distance from the observer is d, then their angular separation (in radians) is given by

  14. Sample Problem The camera of a spy satellite orbiting at 200km has a diameter of 35 cm. What is the smallest distance this camera can resolve on the surface of the earth? (Assume a wavelength of 500nm)

  15. Microscopes • In microscopes, the object is in focus when it is at the focal length of the lens (hence the name) • The condition for resolution then becomes,

  16. Microscopes • In practice, f is of the same order of magnitude as b so f ≈ b • Therefore, in terms of order of magnitude, s ≈ λ • To resolve a small object of size s, the wavelength of light used, λ, must be the same order of magnitude as s or smaller

  17. Electron Microscope • In order to see an object as small as 0.01nm, we can’t use visual light • However, we can make use of the wave nature of electrons

  18. Electron Microscope • Sample Application: • We excite an electron to 105eV = 1.6 x 10-14 J (kinetic energy) • The mass of an electron is 9.1 x 10-31 kg

  19. Electron Microscope • Sample Application: • We excite an electron to 105eV = 1.6 x 10-14 J (kinetic energy) • The mass of an electron is 9.1 x 10-31 kg

  20. Electron Microscope • Sample Application: • We excite an electron to 105eV = 1.6 x 10-14 J (kinetic energy) • The mass of an electron is 9.1 x 10-31 kg • To resolve particles as small as 10-18m, electrons need energy in excess of 1000 GeV – hence the need for particle accelerators!

  21. Σary Review • Do you understand what is meant by resolution? • Can you apply the Rayleigh criterion?
