A microscope is having objective of focal length ( 1 ~cm ) and eyepiece of focal length ( 6 ~cm ). If tube length is ( 30 ~cm ) and image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision, what is the magnification produced by the microscope ? Take D ( =25 ~cm ).
Options
- A( 06 )
- B( 150 )
- C15
- D( 125 )
Correct answer
B. ( 150 )
Step-by-step solution
Given, focal length of objective, ( f_ o =1 ~cm ); focal length of eyepiece, ( f_ e =6 ~cm ); length of tube, ( L=30 ) Using ( M= L f₀ (1+ D f_ e )= 30 1 (1+ 25 6 )=30(1+4.166) ) ( M=155=150 ) Therefore, magnification produced by the microscope is, approximately, ( 150 ).
