If a microscope is placed in air, the minimum separation of two objects seen as distinct is 6 pm . If the same is placed in a medium of refractive index 1.5 , then the minimum separation of the two objects to see as distinct is

  1. A \(4 \mu \mathrm{~m}\)
  2. B \(6 \mu \mathrm{~m}\)
  3. C \(3 \mu \mathrm{~m}\)
  4. D \(9 \mu \mathrm{~m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4 \mu \mathrm{~m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In air, \(\mathrm{d}=6 \mu \mathrm{~m}, \mathrm{n}=1.5\) In medium, \(\mathrm{d}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{6}{1.5}=4 \mu \mathrm{~m}\)
