Q126 / 180 · AIIMS 2014 · Physics

Resolving power of reflecting microscope increases with

Correct answer
A
decrease in wavelength of incident light
B
increase in wavelength of incident light
C
increase in diameter of objective lens
D
none of these

Solution

$\mathrm{RP}$ of a reflecting microscope $=\frac{2 \mu \sin \theta}{\lambda}$

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