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) \(\propto \frac{ mv }{ h }\)

\(RP \propto P\)

\(RP \propto mv\)

\(RP \propto m\)
