Resolution: Treat the pupil of your eye as a circular aperture of diameter 3.5 mm. Light of wavelength 500 nm is used to view two point sources that are 283 m distant from you. How far apart must these two point sources be if they are to be just barely resolved by your eye, assuming that the resolution is limited by diffraction?
