When the object is self-luminous, the resolving power of a microscope is given by the expression

A

`(2mu sin theta )/(1.22 lambda)`

B

`(mu sin theta )/(lambda)`

C

`(2mu cos theta )/(1.22 lambda )`

D

`(2 mu )/( lambda )`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`d_(min) = (1.22 lambda )/(2 mu sin theta)`
and resolving power = `(2 mu sin theta)/(1.22 lambda)`.
