Question

Resolving power of electron microscope is

• A. $1\mathring{A}$
• B. $10\mathring{A}$
• C. $100\mathring{A}$
• D. $1000\mathring{A}$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$10\mathring{A}$

An electron microscope is a scientific instrument which uses a beam of electrons to examine objects on a very fine scale. Electron microscopes have much higher resolving power – the most powerful allow us to distinguish individual atoms. The resolving power of electron microscope is $10\mathring{A}$.
