The ratio of resolving power of an optic...

The ratio of resolving power of an optical microscope for two wavelength `lambda_(1)=4000Å` and `lambda_(2)=6000Å` is:

A

(a) `9:4`

B

(b) `3:2`

C

(c) `16:81`

D

(d) `8:27`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Resolving power `prop1/lambda`
`(RP_1)/(RP_2)=lambda_2/lambda_1=(6000Å)/(4000Å)=3/2`
