Vedclass · Answer

(D) The resolving limit $(d)$ of a microscope is given by the formula: $d = \frac{1.22 \lambda}{2 \sin 	heta}$, where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light and $	heta$ is the semi-cone angle.Given: $\lambda = 5500 	ext{ Å} = 5.5 	imes 10^{-5} 	ext{ cm}$ and $	heta = 30^o$.Substituting the values:$d = \frac{1.22 	imes 5.5 	imes 10^{-5} 	ext{ cm}}{2 	imes \sin 30^o}$Since $\sin 30^o = 0.5$, we have:$d = \frac{1.22 	imes 5.5 	imes 10^{-5}}{2 	imes 0.5} 	ext{ cm}$$d = 1.22 	imes 5.5 	imes 10^{-5} 	ext{ cm}$$d = 6.71 	imes 10^{-5} 	ext{ cm} \approx 6.7 	imes 10^{-5} 	ext{ cm}$.

$A$ microscope has an objective of aperture $8 \text{ mm}$ and focal length of $5 \text{ cm}$. The minimum separation between two objects to be just resolved by the microscope is (wavelength of light used $= 5500 \text{ Å}$) (in $\mu\text{m}$)

The limit of resolution of a telescope is $3.0 \times 10^{-7} \text{ rad}$. Assuming that it is used to see the light of wavelength $525 \text{ nm}$ from a star, what should be the diameter of the objective (in $\text{ m}$)?
