Two points separated by a distance of $0.1\,mm$ can just be resolved in a microscope when a light of wavelength $6000\ \mathring{A}$ is used. If the light of wavelength $4800\ \mathring{A}$ is used,this limit of resolution becomes.......$mm$.

  • A
    $0.08$
  • B
    $0.10$
  • C
    $0.12$
  • D
    $0.06$
