JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 10. Wave optics

The speed of electrons in a scanning electron microscope is \(1 \times 10^{7} \,ms ^{-1}\). 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:

  1. A \(1837\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{1837}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{1837}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1837}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1837\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Resolving power \(( RP ) \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}\) \(\lambda=\frac{ h }{ P }=\frac{ h }{ mv }\) So (RP) \(\propto \frac{ mv }{ h }\) \(RP \propto P\) \(RP \propto mv\) \(RP \propto m\)
