Q28 / 150 · MHT CET 2024 (10 May Shift 1) · Chemistry

Identify the instrument used to find the structure of surface of material.

  • Correct answer
    A
    Scanning electron microscope
  • B
    X ray diffractometer
  • C
    Transmission electron microscope
  • D
    UV-visible spectrophotometer

Solution

The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is the instrument used to examine the surface structure of materials at high magnification. It works by scanning a focused beam of electrons across the surface of a sample. The electrons interact with the atoms on the surface, producing signals that are used to create an image of the surface's topography, morphology, and composition.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
