Ray Optics And Optical Instruments

Question
CBSEENPH12047993

Assertion:  Electron microscope has more resolving power than optical microscope.

Reason:  We can control the energy of electron.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

  • If assertion is true but reason is false.

  • If both assertion and reason are false.

Solution

B.

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Resolving Power

                  R.P ∝ 1λ

An electron microscope has extremely high resolving power because the electronic beams have wavelength  105 times shorter than visible light.
