Q.16 Determine the correctness or otherwise of the following Assertion [a] and the Reason [r]: Assertion [a]: The resolving power of a transmission electron microscope is higher than that of the light microscope. Reason [r]: The wavelength of electrons is shorter than that of visible light.
Q.16 Determine the correctness or otherwise of the following Assertion [a] and the Reason [r]: Assertion [a]: The resolving power of a transmission electron microscope is higher than that of the light microscope. Reason [r]: The wavelength of electrons is shorter than that of visible light.
Answer
Answer: A – Both the assertion and reason are true, and the shorter wavelength of electrons compared to visible light is the reason for the higher resolving power of transmission electron microscopes.
