The correct relation between limit of resolution and resolving power is

  • A
    Limit of resolution $= \frac{1}{\text{resolving power}}$
  • B
    Limit of resolution $\propto$ resolving power
  • C
    Limit of resolution $\propto \frac{1}{\text{resolving power}}$
  • D
    Limit of resolution $\propto (1 - \text{resolving power})$

$A$ telescope of aperture $3 \times 10^{-2} \, m$ diameter is focused on a window at $80 \, m$ distance fitted with a wire mesh of spacing $2 \times 10^{-3} \, m$. Given: $\lambda = 5.5 \times 10^{-7} \, m$,which of the following is true for observing the mesh through the telescope?

Assertion : $A$ famous painting was painted by not using brush strokes in the usual manner,but rather a myriad of small colour dots. In this painting the colour you see at any given place on the painting changes as you move away.
Reason : The angular separation of adjacent dots changes with the distance from the painting.
