Question

(From Wikipedia: Pointillism is an artistic technique in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image.) One of the great Pointillist artists was Seurat. If you're viewing one of Seurat's paintings from up close, you can see the individual dots of colour that he used. If, without moving, you now squint (to reduce the size of the opening [aperture] of your eyes), does the painting now take on a more normal appearance? Yes, because the smaller aperature of the eye improves the angular resolution. No, because the smaller aperture of the eye degrades the angular resolution. Yes, because the smaller aperture of the eye degrades the angular resolution. No, because the smaller aperture of the eye improves the angular resolution

Explanation / Answer

when opening is reduced in size so aperture is reduced. now as we know larger the aperture, better is angular resolution and we will be able to resolve two points well.

now as aperture is reduced by squint, so it degrades angular resolution so two points will not be resolved well so painting will give normal appearence so third option is correct

i.e.yes smaller aperture degrades angular resolution
