A microscope was initially placed in air (refractive index 1). It is then immersed in oil (refractive index 2). For a light whose wavelength in air is 
, calculate the change of microscope's resolving power due to oil and choose the correct option
A
Resolving power will be 
in the oil than it was in the air
in the oil than it was in the air
B
Resolving power will be twice in the oil than it was in the air.
C
Resolving power will be four times in the oil than it was in the air.
D
Resolving power will be 
in the oil than it was in the air.
in the oil than it was in the air.
