MCQ
Two points separated by a distance of $0.1\,mm$ can just be resolved in a microscope when a light of wavelength $6000 Å$ is used. If the light of wavelength $4800Å$ is used this limit of resolution becomes.......$mm$
  • $0.08$
  • B
    $0.10$
  • C
    $0.12 $
  • D
    $0.06$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$0.08$
a
( a)Resolving limit
$x \propto \lambda \Rightarrow \frac{{{x_1}}}{{{x_2}}} = \frac{{{\lambda _1}}}{{{\lambda _2}}} \Rightarrow \frac{{0.1}}{{{x_2}}} = \frac{{6000}}{{4800}}$$ \Rightarrow {x_2} = 0.08\;mm$

Two parallel plate capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2$ each having capacitance of $10 \mu F$ are individually charged by a $100\,V$ $D.C.$ source. Capacitor $C _1$ is kept connected to the source and a dielectric slab is inserted between it plates. Capacitor $C _2$ is disconnected from the source and then a dielectric slab is inserted in it. Afterwards the capacitor $C_1$ is also disconnected from the source and the two capacitors are finally connected in parallel combination. The common potential of the combination will be $.........V.$ (Assuming Dielectric constant $=10$ )

A photoelectric material having work-function $\phi_0$ is illuminated with light of wavelength $\lambda\left(\lambda<\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\phi_0}\right)$. The fastest photoelectron has a de Broglie wavelength $\lambda_d$. A change in wavelength of the incident light by $\Delta \lambda$ results in change $\Delta \lambda_{\mathrm{d}}$ in $\lambda_{\mathrm{d}}$. then the ratio $\Delta \lambda_{\mathrm{d}} / \Delta \lambda$ is proportional to
