If numerical aperture of a microscope is increased, then itsA. resolving power remanis constantB. resolving power becomes zeroC. limit of resolution is decreasedD. limit of resolution is increased

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Resolving limit of microscope is given by
`RL=(lamda)/(2musinalpha)`
where, `musinalpha` is called numerical aperture [NA]
and `lamda` = wavelenghth of light.
`:.RL=(lamda)/(2(NA))`
Hence, if numerical aperture of a microscope is increased, then its limit of resolution is decreased.
