The first compound light microscope was constructed by which scientist?

  1. Hooke

  2. Brown

  3. Leeuwenhoek

  4. Zernicke


Correct Option: A

The resolving power of a compound microscope will enhance with

  1. Increase in both wavelength of light and numerical aperture.

  2. Decrease in both wavelenth of light and numerical aperture.

  3. Decrease in wavelength of light and increase in numerical aperture.

  4. Increase in wavelength of light and decrease in numerical aperture.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
The resolving power of a compound microscope can be defined as the ability of the microscope to form separate images of two objects placed very close to each other.
The resolving power of the compound microscope will increase with a decrease in wavelength of light and an increase in the numerical aperture.
So, the correct answer is 'Decrease in wavelength of light and an increase in the numerical aperture'.
