A person uses +1.5D+1.5 \mathrm{D} glasses to have normal vision from 25 cm25 \mathrm{~cm} onwards. He uses a +20D+20 \mathrm{D} lens as a simple microscope to see an object. What is the maximum magnifying power if he uses the microscope without glasses.

Options

  1. A8
  2. B9
  3. C10
  4. D11

Correct answer

B. 9

Step-by-step solution

Let dd be the distance of near point of the person without glasses. Focal length of glasses, f_1=100P1=1001.5=2003 cm\frac{100}{P_1}=\frac{100}{1.5}=\frac{200}{3} \mathrm{~cm}Now u=−25 cm;v=u=-25 \mathrm{~cm} ; v= ? From lens formula, 1v−1u=1f1or1v=1f1+1u=3200−125=−5200\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f_1} or \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{f_1}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{3}{200}-\frac{1}{25}=-\frac{5}{200} \therefore v=-2005=−\frac{200}{5}=-40  cm\mathrm{~cm}Therefore, the near point of the person is 40 cm40 \mathrm{~cm}. Focal length of microscope, $\begin{gathered}f_2=\frac{100}{P_2}=\frac{100}{20}=5 \mathrm{~cm}\\ \therefore M=1+\left|\frac{d}{f_2}\right|=1+\frac{40}{5}=9 \end{gathered}
