Given below are two statements: 

Assertion (A): The resolving power of a telescope is more if the diameter of the objective lens is more. 
Reason (R): An objective lens of large diameter collects more light.
  
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.

A major breakthrough in the studies of cells came with the development of an electron microscope. This is because:

1. the resolution power of the electron microscope is much higher than that of the light microscope.
2. the resolving power of the electron microscope is 200-350 nm compared to 0.1-0.2 nm for the light microscope.
3. electron beam can pass through thick materials, whereas light microscopy requires thin sections.
4. the electron microscope is more powerful than the light microscope as it uses a beam of electrons that has a wavelength much longer than that of photons.
