"The speed of electrons in a scanning electron microscope is 1 $\times$ 107 ms-1. If the protons having the same speed are used instead of electrons, then the resolving power of scanning proton microscope will be changed by a factor of :"

Question

Accepted Answer

"Resolving power (RP) $\propto$ ${1 \over \lambda }$

We know, de-Broglie wavelength

$\lambda = {h \over {mv}}$

$\therefore$ RP $\propto$ ${mv \over {h}}$

$\therefore$ ${{R{P_e}} \over {R{P_p}}} = {{{m_e}} \over {{m_p}}} = 1837$"

The speed of electrons in a scanning electron microscope is 1 $\times$ 10⁷ ms^-1. If the protons having the same speed are used instead of electrons, then the resolving power of scanning proton microscope will be changed by a factor of :
