Transmission and Reflection
For the eye, only a section passes through the pupil; the iris is an obstruction that diffracts the light. This
diffraction blurs the image. For a system limited only by diffraction (no optical aberrations), the image radius for a
point object =__________
1.22 λ f/d meters.
Pupil size controls impact of ___________ and ___________on retinal image quality (emmetrope)
ocular aberrations

A fibril spacing (d) ______than the wavelength of light (λ) will make
the fibrils transparent as light passes through undeviated.

If d < λ then θ > 90 deg for all m > 0.
Therefore, no diffraction orders exist except _____
Under this condition, the fibrils diffract no light
and appear transparent.
m = 0.
WHAT IS THIS TALKING ABOUT?
Light entering the eye is diffracted by small
particles in the eye.
Each particle causes a circular diffraction
pattern on the retina tens of degrees across.
Interference of overlapping diffraction
patterns for white light is easily observed by
viewing a small, bright, white light source.
We perceive a very fine pattern of
innumerable needles of light, fanning out
from the point object over several degrees.
