Calculate the resolving power of a microscope if its numerical aperture is `0.12` and wavelength of light used is `6000 Å`.

Answer» Here, `N.A. = mu sin theta = 0.12`,
`lambda = 6000 Å = 6 xx 10^(-7) m`
R.P. of microscope,
`(1)/(d) = (2 mu sin theta)/(lambda) = (2 xx 0.12)/(6 xx 10^(-7)) = 4 xx 10^(5) m^(-1)`
