-
A typical human eyeball is 2.4 cm in diameter and contains roughly 150,000,000 receptors. Ignoring the fovea, assume that the receptors are uniformly distributed across a hemisphere (it is actually closer to 160°).
-
How many receptors are there per mm2?
-
Mars has a diameter of 8,000 km and an average distance from Earth of 225,000,000 km. Using a value of f equal to the eye’s diameter, on how many receptors does the image of Mars fall?
