An atomic spectrometer distinguishes the two lines of the Na doublet, which appear at 589.0 and 589.6 nm. For the first it measures a relative intensity of 456; and for the second an intensity of 225. Approximately, indicate the minimum resolving power of the spectrometer in that wavelength region.
