MCQ
If $f _{0}=5\, cm , \lambda=6000\, \mathring A, a =1 \,cm$ for a microscope, then what will be its resolving power?
  • A
    $11.9 \times 10^{5} / m$
  • $10.9 \times 10^{5} / m$
  • C
    $10.9 \times 10^{5} / m$
  • D
    $10.9 \times 10^{3} / m$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$10.9 \times 10^{5} / m$
b
The figure below represents the angle between the object and top of the lens of the microscope.

From the figure,

$\tan \theta \approx \sin \theta=\frac{a}{f}=\frac{1}{5}=0.2$

The resolving power of microscope is,

$R P=\frac{2 \mu \sin \theta}{1.22 \lambda}$

$=10.9 \times 10^{5} / m$
