(2*u*sinx)/wavelength
more the wavelength of light , lesser will be the resolving power because resolving power is inversely proportional to wavelength.
x is the angle subtended by radius of objective lens on one of the objects.
Thus if the diameter of the lens decreases ,
value of x decreases.
and so resolving power also decreases
because they are directly proportional
