Wavelength of light used in an optical instruments are \(\lambda_1=4000 Å\) and \(\lambda_2=5000 Å\), then the ratio of their respective resolving powers (corresponding to \(\lambda_1\) and \(\lambda_2\) ) is

  1. A \(3: 5\)
  2. B \(9: 1\)
  3. C \(4: 5\)
  4. D \(5: 4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(5: 4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As we know that, Resolving power of optical instrument, \(\mathrm{RP}=\frac{2 \mu \sin \theta}{1.22 \lambda} \Rightarrow \mathrm{RP} \text { or } R \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}\) Hence, ratio of resolving power of two instruments is…
