The objective of a microscope is first illuminated with blue light. Then it is illuminated by yellow light, without changing the experimental set up. In the second case its resolving power.

A

will increase

B

will decrease

C

will not change

D

will be doubled

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Resolving power`prop(1)/(lamda)`
`therefore lamda_(Y) gt lamda_(B)" "therefore R.P.` will decrease.
