A friend lends you the eyepiece of his microscope to use on your own microscope. He claims that since his eyepiece has the same diameter as yours but twice the focal length, the resolving power of your microscope will be doubled. Is his claim valid? Explain.

Answer:

The resolving power remains same.

Step-by-step explanation:

The resolving power of the lens is directly proportional to the diameter of the lens not on the focal length.

As the diameter is same but the focal length is doubled so the resolving power remains same.
