The ratio of resolving powers of an optical microscope for two wavelengths λ1=4000A0 and λ2=6000\AA is  

a
9 : 4
b
3 : 2
c
16 : 81
d
8 : 27

detailed solution

Correct option is B

The resolving power of an optical microscope, RP=2μsinθλ For wavelength λ1=4000A0 , resolving power will be RP1=2μsinθ4000                        . . . . (i) For wavelength λ2=6000A,0 resolving power will be RP2=2μsinθ6000                          . . . .(ii)On dividing eqn. (i) by eqn. (ii) RP1RP2=60004000=32
