Approximately what is the smallest detail observable with a microscope that uses ultraviolet light of frequency 1.63 x 1015 hz?



Answer :

The smallest observable detail is [tex]2.83×10^-7 m[/tex].

Given data

frequency,[tex]f = 1-06 X 10" Hz[/tex]

The amount of detail that can be seen is determined by the wavelength of the signal. we know that, speed of light, [tex]C = 3x10% m/s[/tex]

Formula  [tex]c= fd[/tex]

[tex]3x10= 2.83 x 10[/tex] *m of the signal is[tex]2.83x10 m (or) 283 nm[/tex].

wavelength with the modern imaging techniques it is now possible to reduce the limit of resolution down to [tex]100nm[/tex]or less..

How is the wavelength and frequency of infrared light compared to ultraviolet light ?

    The primary distinction between infrared and ultraviolet radiation is that while the wavelength of UV radiation is shorter than that of visible light, that of infrared radiation is longer. Two examples of electromagnetic radiation are infrared and ultraviolet radiation.

Only a narrow range of wavelengths, from 380 nm to 750 nm, are covered by the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. In the electromagnetic spectrum, ultraviolet (UV) radiation has shorter wavelengths between 10 and 380 nanometers and infrared (IR) radiation has longer wavelengths between 750 and 1 mm.
