6. Pointilism The impressionist painter Georges Seurat used a technique called "pointillism" in which his paintings are composed of small colorful dots about 2 mm apart so that they are blended by the eye to make the image. For this effect to occur due to diffraction, calculate the minimum viewing distance. Use the wavelength of visible light that requires the greatest distance so that your answer will work for all visible wavelengths. Since we did not over circular apertures, assume the pupil of the eye is a square aperture 5 mm wide. Two points can be considered blended if the central maximum of one overlaps the first minimum of the one next to it. Enter the minimum viewing distance in mm.
