The resolving power of a microscope is

Options

A. A) inversely proportional to numerical aperture
B. B) directly proportional to wavelength
C. C) directly proportional to square of the wavelength
D. D)
directly proportional to numerical aperture

Answer

D

Explanation

Resolving power of a microscope
`=(2musintheta)/(1.22lambda)`
i.e., resolving power of a microscope is directly proportional to numerical aperture.
