Two different microscopes are used to detect an electron. Both have the same collection angle.
(i) Microscope A employs photons of wavelength 0.1nm.
(ii) Microscope B employs photons of wavelength 0.01nm.
For each of the following, identify which microscope (A or B) performs better and give one reason:
a. (a) gives the smaller position uncertainty Δx;
b. (b) disturbs the electron’s momentum more (larger Δp).
