    The value of numerical aperature of the objective lens of a microscope is 1.25. If light of wavelength \[5000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] is used, the minimum separation between two points, to be seen as distinct, will be :                                          [JEE Main Held on 12-4-2019 Morning]

    A) \[0.24\mu m\]  

    B)   \[0.48\mu m\]

    C) \[0.12\mu m\]  

    D)   \[0.38\mu m\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Numerical aperature of the microscope is given as\[NA=\frac{0.61\lambda }{d}\] Where d = minimum sparation between two points to be seen as distinct \[d=\frac{0.61\lambda }{NA}=\frac{(0.61)\times (5000\times 10{{m}^{-10}})}{1.25}\] \[=2.4\times {{10}^{-7}}m\] \[=0.24\mu m\]
