The ratio of resolving powers of an optical microscope for

The ratio of resolving powers of an optical microscope for two wavelengths λ ₁ = 4000 Å and λ ₂ = 6000 Å is

Resolving power of a microscope

=	2μ sinθ
	λ

ie., R ∝	1
	λ

or,	R₁	=	λ₂
	R₂		λ₁

Given that the two wavelengths,
λ₁ = 4000 Å
λ₂ = 6000 Å

∴	R₁	=	6000 Å	=	3
	R₂		4000 Å		2
