    The document discusses resolving power and its relation to microscopes. Resolving power is defined as the ability to form distinct images of two close objects, and the formula for a microscope's resolving power is provided. The document also addresses the double slit experiment, noting that bringing the screen closer to the slits or increasing the slit separation decreases the fringe spacing in the interference pattern.

    1. Explain the concept of resolving power. Briefly discuss the resolving power of microscope.

    2. What is the effect on the interference pattern in young a) the screen is moved b) the separation between
    double slit experiment when closer to the slit? slits is increased?

    1. Explain the concept of resolving power. Briefly discuss the resolving power of microscope.
    • It is the ability to form distinct images of two close objects.
    • In case of microscope
    • Resolving Power =2µsinθ/ 1.22λ
    • Here λ- wavelength of light
    • µ- refractive index of the medium
    •

    2. What is the effect on the interference pattern in young a) the screen is moved b) the separation between
    double slit experiment when closer to the slit? slits is increased?
    • a) As β=λD/d
    • When D is decreased then β also decreases
    •
    • b) When d increase then β decreases
