Chapter 3, Problem 1.2SC
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether the light microscope with a total magnification of 5,000X gives a better, worse, or same resolution of a light microscope with a magnification of 1,000X and to explain the reason.
Introduction: Light has many properties, which influence the ability to view objects under a microscope and also with an unaided eye. When the light passes through a small opening like a slit or hole, the waves of light bents around the opening and this condition is termed as diffraction.
