Question

Two points separated by a distance of 0.1 mm can just be resolved in a microscope when a light of wavelength 6000 Å is used. If the light of wavelength 4800Å is used this limit of resolution becomes

Moderate

A

0.08 mm
B

0.10 mm
C

0.12 mm
D

0.06 mm

Solution

Resolving limit
$x \propto λ \Rightarrow \frac{x_{1}}{x_{2}} = \frac{λ_{1}}{λ_{2}} \Rightarrow \frac{0 .1}{x_{2}} = \frac{6000}{4800} \Rightarrow x_{2} = 0 .08 mm$
