Question

Resolving power of light microscope is

• A. $0.2\mu$m or $0.002$mm
• B. $2\mu$m or $0.02$mm
• C. $0.02\mu$m or $0.0002$mm
• D. $100\mu$m or $0.1$mm

Answer 1

The correct option is A $0.2\mu$m or $0.002$mm

• Light microscope, is a type of microscope that commonly uses visible light and a system of lenses to magnify images of small objects.
• Resolving power is defined as the ability of a microscope to distinguish two close together images as being separate.
• Resolving the power of the light microscope is 0.2μm or 0.002mm
• So,the correct answer is '0.2μm or 0.002mm'.
