Priya wears glasses to achieve normal vision from onwards. She employs a lens as a simple microscope to view an object. Determine the maximum magnifying power if she uses the microscope together with her glasses.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The power of the simple microscope lens is given as .
The focal length of the microscope lens is:
Priya wears glasses to achieve normal vision from 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).
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:
Substituting the values of and :
