Priya wears +1.5 D+1.5 \text{ D} glasses to achieve normal vision from 25 cm25 \text{ cm} onwards. She employs a 20 D20 \text{ D} lens as a simple microscope to view an object. Determine the maximum magnifying power if she uses the microscope together with her glasses.

Options

  1. A66
  2. B99
  3. C55
  4. D44

Correct answer

A. 66

Step-by-step solution

The power of the simple microscope lens is given as P=20 DP = 20 \text{ D}.

The focal length of the microscope lens is:
f=100P=10020=5 cmf = \dfrac{100}{P} = \dfrac{100}{20} = 5 \text{ cm}

Priya wears glasses to achieve normal vision from 25 cm25 \text{ cm} onwards. When she uses the microscope together with her glasses, her eye effectively behaves as a normal eye with a near point (least distance of distinct vision)ofD=25 cmof D = 25 \text{ cm}.

The maximum magnifying power of a simple microscope is achieved when the final image is formed at the near point. The formula for maximum magnifying power is:
M=1+DfM = 1 + \dfrac{D}{f}

Substituting the values of DD and ff:
M=1+255M = 1 + \dfrac{25}{5}

M=1+5=6M = 1 + 5 = 6
