The correct relation between limit of resolution and resolving power is

  • A
    Limit of resolution $= \frac{1}{\text{resolving power}}$
  • B
    Limit of resolution $\propto$ resolving power
  • C
    Limit of resolution $\propto \frac{1}{\text{resolving power}}$
  • D
    Limit of resolution $\propto (1 - \text{resolving power})$

In an optical instrument,the wavelengths of light used are $\lambda_1 = 4000 \ \mathring{A}$ and $\lambda_2 = 5000 \ \mathring{A}$. What is the ratio of their resolving powers?

The separation between two microscopic particles is measured as $P_A$ and $P_B$ by two different lights of wavelength $2000 \; \mathring{A}$ and $3000 \; \mathring{A}$ respectively. Then:

The numerical aperture of a microscope is $0.12$, and the wavelength of light used is $600 \, nm$. Then its limit of resolution will be nearly $............. \, \mu m$.
