Calculate the resoving power of a microscope if its numerical aperture is 0.12 and the wavelength of light used is 6000 Å
Resolving power of light microscope is
The limit of resolution of microscope, if the numerical aperture of microscope is 0.12 , and the wavelength of light used is 600 nm, is
Assertion : Ultra-violet light is used to achieve high resolving power. Reason: Resolving power of microscope increases with the decrease of wavelength of light used.
