The separation between two microscopic particles is measured as $P_A$ and $P_B$ by two different lights of wavelength $2000 \; \mathring{A}$ and $3000 \; \mathring{A}$ respectively. Then:

  • A
    $P_A > P_B$
  • B
    $P_A < P_B$
  • C
    $P_A < \frac{3}{2} P_B$
  • D
    $P_A = P_B$

The resolving power of a compound microscope will be maximum when

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

Assertion: The resolving power of a telescope is more if the diameter of the objective lens is more.
Reason: Objective lens of large diameter collects more light.
