Q.25 An electron microscope is operated at 40 KV . The ratio of resolving power of this microscope and another one which uses yellow light of wavelength 6 × 10 -7 m is (1) 9.73 × 106 (2) 9.78 × 104 (3) 9.78 × 10-4 (4) 9.78 × 10-6 Share with your friends Share 3 Decoder_2 answered this Dear student,The resolving power of a microscope is inversely proportional to the wavelength of light used.For first electron miscroscope,λ=h2meEλ=6.6×10-342×9.11×10-31×1.6×10-19×40×103=3.5×10-10mfor second microscope,λ'=cν=3×1086×10-7=0.5×1015mλλ'=3.5×10-100.5×1015=7×10-25This will be the ratio of resolving power of two microscope.Please check the given options may be there is an error.
