Question

question 1 point
microscopes are more powerful than light or optical microscopes because

they move faster than light

they have longer wavelengths than light

they have shorter wavelengths than light

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The resolving power of a microscope depends on the wavelength of the radiation used to illuminate samples; shorter wavelengths allow for higher resolution and greater power to see smaller structures. Electrons exhibit wave-particle duality, and their wavelengths are much shorter than visible light when accelerated to high energies, which is why electron microscopes are more powerful than optical ones.

Answer:

electrons have shorter wavelengths than light
