Assertion : If objective and eye lenses of a microscope are interchanged then it can work as teles cope.
Reason : The objective lens of telescope has small focal length.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
D. If both assertion and reason are false.
Step-by-step solution
We cannot interchange the objective and eye lenses of a microscope to make a telescope. The reason is that the focal length of lenses in microscope are very small, of the order of or a few and the difference is very small, while the telescope objective have a very large focal length as compared to eye lens of microscope.
