1
Q
Resolution
A
The ability to see as distinct two objects that are distinct
2
Q
Rayleigh criterion
A
When two objects are just resolved, when the central maximum of one light source coincides with the first minimum of the other
3
Q
Formula for minimum angle of diffraction for resolution to be possible in a circular slit
A
s/d ≥ 1.22λ/b
b = diameter of circular slit
4
Q
Formula for resolving power
A
R = λavg/Δ λ
5
Q
Formula for finding the smallest difference in wavelength that can be resolved
A
Δλ = λavg/mN
m = order at which the lines are observed
N = total number of slits or rulings
