    When a beam of light is used to determine the position of an object, the maximum accuracy is achieved if the light is:

    A)  polarized

    B)  of longer wavelength

    C)  of shorter wavelength

    D)  of high intensity

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The laser beam being narrow, intense, parallel monochromatic and highly coherent is used to determine the position of object. Energy of ray \[\Omega \], where h is Plancks constant, c is speed of light, \[\Omega \] is wavelength. Hence, shorter the wavelength, more the intense energy of beam. Hence, maximum accuracy is achieved.
