The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the resolving power of a microscope when viewing an object with a light of wavelength `4000Å`, given that the resolving power with a wavelength of `6000Å` is `10^4`. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Resolving Power**: The resolving power (R) of a microscope is inversely proportional to the wavelength (λ) of the light used. This can be expressed as: \[ R \propto \frac{1}{\lambda} \] 2. **Setting Up the Proportionality**: For two different wavelengths, we can write: \[ \frac{R_A}{R_B} = \frac{\lambda_B}{\lambda_A} \] where: - \( R_A \) is the resolving power with wavelength \( \lambda_A = 4000Å \) - \( R_B \) is the resolving power with wavelength \( \lambda_B = 6000Å \) 3. **Substituting Known Values**: We know: - \( R_B = 10^4 \) - \( \lambda_A = 4000Å \) - \( \lambda_B = 6000Å \) Substituting these values into the equation gives: \[ \frac{R_A}{10^4} = \frac{6000}{4000} \] 4. **Calculating the Ratio**: Simplifying the right side: \[ \frac{6000}{4000} = \frac{3}{2} \] Therefore, we have: \[ \frac{R_A}{10^4} = \frac{3}{2} \] 5. **Finding \( R_A \)**: Rearranging the equation to find \( R_A \): \[ R_A = 10^4 \times \frac{3}{2} \] 6. **Calculating \( R_A \)**: \[ R_A = 10^4 \times 1.5 = 1.5 \times 10^4 \] 7. **Expressing \( R_A \) in Required Form**: We need to express \( R_A \) in the form \( n \times 10^3 \): \[ R_A = 15 \times 10^3 \] 8. **Finding \( n \)**: From the expression \( R_A = n \times 10^3 \), we can see that: \[ n = 15 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( n \) is **15**. ---
