If the red light is replaced by blue light illuminating the object in a microscope the resolving power of the microscope

Question

If the red light is replaced by blue light illuminating the object in a microscope the resolving power of the microscope (A) decreases (B) increases (C) gets halved (D) remains unchanged

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Resolvmg power = (2 μ sin θ/1.22 λ) Since, λR > λB hence, resolving power increases.

Q. If the red light is replaced by blue light illuminating the object in a microscope the resolving power of the microscope

decreases

increases

gets halved

remains unchanged

Resolvmg power $= \frac{2 μ s i n θ}{1.22 λ}$
Since, $λ_{R} > λ_{B}$ hence, resolving power increases.

Resolvmg power =1.22λ2μsinθ​ Since, λR​>λB​ hence, resolving power increases.

Resolvmg power $= \frac{2 μ s i n θ}{1.22 λ}$
Since, $λ_{R} > λ_{B}$ hence, resolving power increases.
