The wavelengths of light used in an optical instrument are ${\lambda _1 = 4000 \ \mathring{A}}$ and ${\lambda _2 = 5000 \ \mathring{A}}$. The ratio of their respective resolving powers (corresponding to ${\lambda _1}$ and ${\lambda _2}$) is:

  • A
    $16 : 25$
  • B
    $9 : 1$
  • C
    $4 : 5$
  • D
    $5 : 4$
