The resolving power of a microscope at 6...

The resolving power of a microscope at 6000 Å is `10^(4)`. What is its resolving power at 4000 Å

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Resolving power,
R `prop (1)/(lambda)`
So, `(R_(1))/(R_(2))= (lambda_(2))/(lambda_(1)) or, R_(2) = R_(1) (lambda_(1))/(lambda_(2))`
` therefore " " R_(2) = 10^(4) xx (6000)/(4000) = 1.5 xx 10^(4)`
