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$

While working on a physics project at school physics lab, you require a $4 \,\mu F$ capacitor in a circuit across a potential difference of $1 \,kV$. Unfortunately, $4 \,\mu F$ capacitors are out of stock in your lab but $2 \,\mu F$ capacitors which can withstand a potential difference of $400 \,V$ are available in plenty. If you decide to use the $2 \,\mu F$ capacitors in place of $4 \,\mu F$ capacitor, minimum number of capacitors required are
