A microscope has an objective lens with an aperture diameter 0.60 cm. A monochromatic light source of wavelength 580 nm is used to illuminate the object. It is determined that the minimum angle of resolution is 1.18 × 10^-4 rad. If the present lens were replaced by one with an aperture of diameter 1.0 cm, what would the minimum angle of resolution now become? (1 nm = 10-9 m)
a. 1.5 × 10^-4 rad c. 0.71 × 10^-4 rad b. 0.79 × 10^-4 rad d. 1.8 × 10^-4 rad
