Assume that the unaided human eye has a limit of resolution of about 0.25 mm. What was the limit of resolution of Hooke's microscope

The limit of resolution of Hooke's microscope was 8.3 μm.

In conclusion, the limit of resolution of Hooke's microscope was 8.3 μm.

Answer and Explanation:

The Hooke microscope was designed by the famous British scientist in the 1600s. Robert Hooke only design the microscope; actually, the microscope was made by  instrument maker.

Robert Hooke's design improved microscope illumination and mechanism, which enhance the magnification to 50X and improved resolution.

Robert Hooke was the first man who coins the name cell after observing angular spaces that saw in a thin cork section.  He used a compound microscope to observe the pores in the cork.The Hooke microscope and telescope have some common features, such as a socket and ball joint for disposing of the body, separate draw tubes and an eyecup to retain the correct distance between eyepiece and eye. The microscope body tube was made of wood. Hooke used a bi-convex objective lens, tube lens and two additional lenses. The resolution limit of the microscope depends on how well a lens focus light. We do not know we have exact information about the resolution of the Hooke microscope. However, by using the magnification power of the instrument, we can estimate the resolution limit. Hooke microscope has 30X magnification power.

that would be called plucking : )

explanation:

''plucking, also referred to as quarrying, is a glacial phenomenon that is responsible for the erosion and transportation of individual pieces of bedrock, especially large "joint blocks". as a glacier moves down a valley, friction causes the basal ice of the glacier to melt and infiltrate joints (cracks) in the bedrock."
