Physics · Wave Optics
An objective lens with half-angular aperture θ is illuminated with light of wavelength λ. The refractive index of the medium between the sample and the objective lens is n. The lateral resolving power of this optical system cannot be increased by:
- 1decreasing both λ and θ✓
- 2decreasing λ and increasing θ
- 3increasing both θ and n
- 4decreasing λ and increasing n
Correct answer
decreasing both λ and θ
