Question

The resolution of a light micrograph is limited by:

A) wavelength of visible light

B) quality of the microscopy

C) magnification of the image

D) width of an electron

I put A but I wanted to double check

Answer 1

1) Correct answer is option (A)

Resolution of light micrograph is limited by wavelength of visible light .

Since the microscope uses visible light and visible light has a set range of wavelength.The microscope can't produce the image of an object that is smaller than the length of the light wave.Any object that’s less than half the wavelength of the microscope’s illumination source is not visible under that microscope.

Hence resolution of light micrographs is limited by wave length of visible light and not depend on the quality of microscopy,magnification of image and width of an electron.

Therefore correct answer is option (A) and, all other option are not correct
