Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) The resolving power of the microscope is reciprocal to the maximum separation of two points seen as distinct.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(a) In Young's double slit experiment, the fringe width is given by \(\beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d} \Rightarrow \beta \propto \frac{1}{d}\) So, if width between two slit \((d)\) increases, the fringe width reduces. (b) In diffraction due to single slit, the path difference between…
