Two points separated by a distance of 0.1 mm can just be seen in microscope when light of wavelength \(6000 Å\) is used. If the light of wavelength \(4800 Å\) is used, the limit of resolution will become

  1. A 0.8 mm
  2. B 0.12 mm
  3. C 0.10 mm
  4. D 0.08 mm .
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 0.08 mm .

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{array}{ll} & \text { Limit of resolution (D) } \propto \lambda \\ \therefore \quad & \frac{\mathrm{d}_1}{\mathrm{~d}_2}=\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} \\ \therefore \quad & \frac{0.1}{\mathrm{~d}_2}=\frac{6000}{4800} \Rightarrow \mathrm{~d}_2=0.08 \mathrm{~mm}\end{array}\)
