Practicing Success
You are given a microscope of resolving power d. If a light of wavelength λ is used to illuminate the object P and Q subtending semivertical angle θ. If the entire set-up is placed in a medium of refracting index μ, then what is d ? |
1.22 μ sinθ / λ 2 x 1.22 μ sinθ /λ 1.22 λ /2μ sinθ 2 x 1.22 λ /2μ sinθ |
1.22 λ /2μ sinθ |
Resolving power of a microscope : d = 1.22 λ /2μ sinθ |
