Suppose you are sufficiently downstream from a double slit experiment
that the separation between the maxima is large (meaning, larger than
the size of your iris). If you look toward the two slits with one eye,
what will you see? Will you see two lit slits?
No. That's what
delta_theta = lambda / d
is all about.

Yup Old Man is right, (looks like OP is a troll), it's just
aperature width vs resolution, standard stuff in amateur
astronomy. Is it more complicated???

It certainly wasn't intended as a troll. It was tossed out not as a
Great Unanswered Question, but as a small exercise with an interesting,
practical result that is worth going through the analysis of. Not
everything posted here has to be a Great Unanswered Question, right?
