Question

Q2. Resolution is

(i) a measure of the bias in the instrument

(ii) None of these

(iii) the smallest amount of input signal change that the instrument can detect reliably

(iv) a measure of the systematic errors​

Answer 1

Answer:

(iii) options

Explanation:

Resolution is the smallest amount of input signal change that the instrument can detect reliably

Answer 2

(iii) Resolution is the smallest amount of input signal change that the instrument can detect reliably.

Explanation:

• The measure of difference between two peaks of different mass to charge ratios in mass spectrometry is called resolution.
• The resolving power or resolution is m/Δm when the two peaks is separated due to mass m and (m+Δm).
• The smallest increment tool is a resolution and it can display and detect the change.
• For example, in a ruler, the one marked in quarter inch segment will have lesser resolution than the one marked 1/16 inch.
