The angle subtended by stars in the night sky is orders of magnitude smaller than the acuity threshold you calculated in 1). Why are we able to see objects that are much smaller than the angle subtended by the gap in the acuity threshold experiment? (50 word max)

Answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

we consider here gap in character size is 0.75 mm

and distance is 300 mm

so minutes of arc is = 0.85944

and

visual acuity is express as

V = standard view distance D รท distance at which each letter D' ................1

  • There is visual acuity under the eyes, on which the object cannot be determined
  • Factor factor mainly determines refractive error and contrast angle brightness or brightness and duration of contrast and exposure
  • The target resolution threshold is expressed as a small angle, which can reduce the distinction between important elements of the stimulus pattern such as a pair of dots.
  • Relaxation is specified in terms of its angular size
