उत्तर
The resolving power of a microscope is given by the relation
`"RP" = 1/d_"min" = (2"n" sin beta)/(1.22 lambda)`
(i) When the diameter of the objective lens is decreased β decreases so resolving power decreases.
(ii) When the wavelength of the incident light is increased resolving power decreases.

An eye can distinguish between two points of an object if they are separated by more than 0.22 mm when the object is placed at 25 cm from the eye. The object is now seen by a compound microscope having a 20 D objective and 10 D eyepiece separated by a distance of 20 cm. The final image is formed at 25 cm from the eye. What is the minimum separation between two points of the object which can now be distinguished?
In the case of a regular prism, in minimum deviation position, the angle made by the refracted ray (inside the prism) with the normal drawn to the refracting surface is ______.
| A compound microscope consists of two converging lenses. One of them, of smaller aperture and smaller focal length, is called objective and the other of slightly larger aperture and slightly larger focal length is called eye-piece. Both lenses are fitted in a tube with an arrangement to vary the distance between them. A tiny object is placed in front of the objective at a distance slightly greater than its focal length. The objective produces the image of the object which acts as an object for the eye-piece. The eye-piece, in turn, produces the final magnified image. |
