    Why is a higher resolution necessary for larger molecules in mass spectrometry?

    In mass spectrometer, the resolution required was defined as M/(delta M), So, it means for two larger M.W. molecules, the resolution required was larger than small M.W. molecules even the delta M was was the same... But why ??! why the instrument should have better resolution to...
