Define resolving power of an optical instrument.

Discussion and Optical Instruments

How does diffraction limit the resolving power of an optical instrument?

Assertion: Diffraction limits the resolving power of an optical instrument. Reason: In diffraction, the fringes of minimum intensity are perfectly dark.

In all optical instruments, we use.
