Concept explainers
To Explain: A way to determine when the clump of atoms is big enough to be seen through a microscope.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:Every object in nature is visible to human eyes in the respective visible spectrum only when the rays from
When a ray of electron beams or similar beam of light with the wavelength comparable to the size of atoms i.e. in the order of
Conclusion: Thus, to see the clumps of atoms using a microscope, a dot is visible when a ray hasthe wavelength equivalent to the size of the atoms on which t impinges upon it and then reflects.
