Does diffraction aid or hinder the viewing of images in a microscope?
To Explain: Whether the diffraction aids or hinders the viewing of images through microscope.
Answer to Problem 4A
The diffraction hinders viewing of images in a microscope.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The wave passes through a slit and gets diffracted, will interface with itself. This process is called the diffraction process.
The diffraction hinders viewing the images because the images become blurred due to the spreading of waves around the objects.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the diffraction hinders viewing of images in a microscope.
