MCQ
Wavelength of light used in an optical instrument are ${\lambda _1} = 4000 \;Å$ and ${\lambda _2} = 5000 \;Å$, then ratio of their respective resolving power (corresponding to ${\lambda _1}$ and ${\lambda _2})$ is
  • A
    $16:25$
  • B
    $9:1$
  • C
    $4:5$
  • $5:4$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$5:4$
d
$R.P.$ $ \propto \frac{1}{\lambda } \Rightarrow \frac{{{{(R.P.)}_1}}}{{{{(R.P.)}_2}}} = \frac{{{\lambda _2}}}{{{\lambda _1}}} = \frac{5}{4}$
