Question

It would be impossible to build a microscope that could use visible light to see the molecular structure of a crystal because. It would be impossible to build a microscope that could use visible light to see the molecular structure of a crystal because. lenses cannot be ground with fine enough precision. diffraction limits the resolving power to about the size of the wavelength of the light used. lenses with enough magnification cannot be made. lenses cannot be placed in the correct place with enough precision. More than one of the above is correct.

Answer 1

Answer:

the correct one is: a diffraction limits the resolving power to approximately the size of the wavelength of the light used

Explanation:

To be able to solve two structures with a light source, the Rayleigh criterion must be met that stable the two structures are solved when the first minimum of diffraction at one point is in the code of the first maximum of the other point

Using this criterion we can find an expression for the first minimization of the diffraction spectrum m = 1

     sin θ tea = λ / a

now the structure of the comatose has a separation of around 1 nm and the wavelength of visible light ranges from 400 to 700 nm, when substituting we find

           sin θ = 400/1 10

           sin θ  = 400

           sin θ  = 700/1

           sin θ  = 700

These values ​​are neither impossible since the sin function is bounded between -1 to 1, so we cannot see the diffraction

When reviewing the different statements, the correct one is: a diffraction limits the resolving power to approximately the size of the wavelength of the light used:
