Question
When abeam of light is used to determine the position of an object, the maximumaccueacy achieved if the light is :
Options
A.polarised
B.of longer wavelength
C.of shorter wave length
D.of high intensity
Solution
The resolving power4of an instrument depends upon the wave length of light used.The lower the wavelength of light higher is the accuraccy in vision.
