The numerical aperture of a microscope is 0.31. If the wavelength of light used in 600 nm, calculate the resolving power of the microscope.

Explanation

To calculate the resolving power of a microscope given the numerical aperture (NA) and the wavelength of light, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the formula for resolving power
The resolving power (Rp) of a microscope is given by the formula:
\[ Rp = \frac{D}{1.22 \lambda} \]
where \( D \) is the diameter of the aperture and \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of light used.
