Question

The resolution of a camera or other optical system is determined by the relationship between what two scales?

Answer 1

Answer:

d.The wavelength of light and the size of the aperture

Explanation:

The resolution power of an optical system is the smallest distance between two points that the device can distinguish clearly.

It has the following relationship:

$r=\frac{\lambda}{2n}$

where:

r = minimum resolvable distance

n = numerical aperture

$\lambda$= wavelength of the light used for viewing

From above mathematical equation it is clear that:

• Smaller the wavelength better the resolving power
• Larger the aperture better the resolution

(Note, that smaller the value of "r" the more finer details of the image visible through the device.)
