Define resolving power of a microscope and write one factor on which it depends
Advertisements
उत्तर
Resolving power of a microscope is the ability of the microscope to form separate image of two closely object placed near the microscope.
Resolving power of microscope is given by
`R.P. = (2μsinθ)/λ `
It is clear from the above equation, resolving power depends on the wavelength (λ) of the light used.
