The speed of electrons in a scanning electron microscope is 1×107ms1. If the protons having the same speed are used instead of electrons, then the resolving power of scanning proton microscope will be changed by a factor of:

a
11837
b
1837
c
1837
d
11837

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Mass of proton=1837  mass of electron. Resolving power of microscope =RP=2μsinθ1.22λ  and  λ=hmvSo,  RP ∝ mSo, it increases by a factor of  1837.
