The ratio of resolving powers of an optical microscope for two wavelengths
`lamda_(1) =4000` `Å and lamda_(2)=6000 Å is`

A

`8: 27`

B

`9: 4`

C

`3: 2 `

D

`16 : 18`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
R.P. `prop (1)/(lambda) " so " (RP_(1))/(RP_(2)) = (lambda_(2))/(lambda_(1)) = (6000)/(4000) = (3)/(2)`
