Answer #1

ANSWER-

Nanoscale is the size between 1 to 100 nano-meters ( and 1 nano-meter is billionth of a meter or 10-9 meters).

And as visible light has wavelength between 380 to 740 nano meters ( which is much larger than size of nanoscale).

Due to this difference between visible light wavelength and nano-scale it is impossible to see nanoscale in visible light.

We cannot 'SEE THEM' ,but can detect them using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) or using a Tunnelling electron microscope (TEM) or even via Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)
