In the Landolt-C acuity test, the average threshold for accurately identifying the position of the gap in the C-like character was 0.75mm in size, at a distance of 3000mm. What angle is subtended by the gap at this acuity threshold? Show your working and give your answer in Minutes of arc.

  0.859 minutes of arc

Explanation:

The arc length for a given radius and angle in radians is ...

  s = rθ

So, the angle is ...

  θ = s/r

For the given geometry, the angle in radians is ...

  θ = (0.75 mm)/(3000 mm) = 0.00025 radians

In minutes of arc, this is ...

  (0.00025 radians)(60 minutes/degree)(180 degree/(π radians)

  = (0.0025)(60)(180)/π minutes

  ≈ 0.859 minutes

The angle subtended is about 0.859 minutes of arc.

stimulus is a change in the environment that causes an organism to react. the response is the reaction to the stimulus. some examples of stimuli for zebras are drought, to many predators, and bad feeding grounds such as dead grass or plants. zebras respond to stimuli just like all other living organisms
