Question

The resolving power of a compound microscope will be maximum when ref light is used to illuminate the object

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Because for a compound microscope,the resolving power will be maximum when red light is used to eliminate the object.

Answer 2

Answer:

The resolving power of the compound microscope is $0.25\mu$ and the light is used to illuminate the object placed under the microscope, If the source of the light is blue there will be maximum resolving power.

The compound microscope is used to see microscopic object which is not visible under the naked eye.

The resolving power of microscope increases with the decrease in the wavelength of the light used.

the formula used to calculate the resolving power is,

            $Resolving power=0.61\alpha /NA$

Where NA is numerical aperture.
