Given below are two statements: 

Assertion (A): An electron microscope can achieve better resolving power than an optical microscope.
Reason (R): The de Broglie's wavelength of the electrons emitted from an electron gun is much less than the wavelength of visible 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.
