two dots are at a distance of 3.8 nm. the radiation we will have to use in order to be able to see the two dots clearly must have a wavelength of:

Solutions

Expert Solution

Ans. Resolution (r) is given by-

                        r = L / 2 NA                          - equation 1

            Where, r = resolution = the distance between two points to be resolved

L = wavelength

            NA = Numerical aperture (1.45 for oil immersion)

Given, r = 3.8 nm

Putting the values in equation 1-

            3.8 nm = L / (2 x 1.45)

            Or, L = 3.8 nm x 2.90

            Hence, L = 11.02 nm

Therefore, required wavelength, L = 11.02 nm

Suppose we have two galaxies that are sufficiently far apart so that the distance between them increases due to Hubble's expansion.

Is the origin of the tension some sort of drag between the expanding space and matter?
