Explanation:
Resolving power (minimum resolvable distance) d = λ/(2NA), where NA is numerical aperture. Oil immersion increases NA by matching refractive index between slide and objective, reducing light refraction and increasing light collection. Longer wavelength (A) decreases resolving power; decreasing NA (C) worsens resolution; magnification (D) doesn't affect fundamental resolution limit. Memory aid: 'Higher NA or shorter λ ⇒ better resolution'. This application question tests optical instrument knowledge, common in competitive exams. Always link resolution to wave nature of light (diffraction limit) and instrument design factors.
Explanation:
Myopia (nearsightedness) is the inability to see distant objects clearly, with far point less than infinity. Here, far point is 2 m. Corrected using concave lens. Hypermetropia (farsightedness) affects near vision; presbyopia is age-related loss of accommodation; astigmatism involves uneven corneal curvature. Memory aid: 'Myopia = near-sighted; far point reduced'. This application question tests knowledge of vision defects and corrections, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always link symptom (blurred distant vision) to defect (myopia) and correction (diverging lens).
Explanation:
Gamma rays (photons) have highest penetration, stopped by thick lead/concrete. Alpha least (paper/skin). Beta intermediate (aluminium). Neutrons also penetrating but not listed. Gamma has no charge.
