Q) A parallel beam of monochromatic light of wavelength
5000 Å is incident normally on a single narrow slit of width
0.001 mm. The light is focussed by a convex lens on a screen
placed on focal plane. The first minimum will be formed for
the angle of diffraction equal to

c) 𝟑𝟎𝒐
d) 𝟓𝟎𝒐
Q) Monochromatic light of wavelength 580 nm is incident on
a slit of width 0.30 mm.The screen is 2 m from the slit. The
width of the central maximum is

a) 3.35x 10-3 m

Resolving Power
Resolving power of an optical instrument is the power
or ability of the instrument to produce distinctly
separate images of two close objects i.e; it is ability of
instrument to resolve or to see as separate images of
two close objects.
Image of a distinct star
Image of binary star system
Resolving Limit
The minimum distance between two objects that can
be viewed distinctly is called Resolving Limit.

Smaller the Resolving Limit, Greater the Resolving


Power
For microscope:
For telescope:
Q) Assuming human pupil to have a radius of 0.25 cm and a
comfortable viewing distance of 25 cm, the minimum
separation between two objects that human eye can resolve
at 500 nm wavelength is: [JEE MAIN 2015]

a) 100 μm
b) 300 μm
c) 1 μm
d) 30 μm
