उत्तर

Magnifying power of a microscope is defined as the ratio of visual angle subtended by the image at the eye to the angle subtended by the object when both are at the distance of district vision.

i.e.; M = `β/α`

If this telescope is used to view the moon, what is the diameter of the image of the moon formed by the objective lens ? the diameter of the moon is 3.48 × 106 m and the radius of lunar orbit is 3.8 × 108m.


Draw a ray diagram showing the image formation by a compound microscope. Hence obtained expression for total magnification when the image is formed at infinity.


An object is placed at a distance u from a simple microscope of focal length f. The angular magnification obtained depends


The separation between the objective and the eyepiece of a compound microscope can be adjusted between 9.8 cm to 11.8 cm. If the focal lengths of the objective and the eyepiece are 1.0 cm and 6 cm respectively, find the range of the magnifying power if the image is always needed at 24 cm from the eye


A lady uses + 1.5 D glasses to have normal vision from 25 cm onwards. She uses a 20 D lens as a simple microscope to see an object. Find the maximum magnifying power if she uses the microscope (a) together with her glass (b) without the glass. Do the answers suggest that an object can be more clearly seen through a microscope  without using the correcting glasses?


A convex lens of a focal length 5 cm is used as a simple microscope. Where should an object be placed so that the image formed by it lies at the least distance of distinct vision (D = 25 cm)?


A thin converging lens of focal length 5cm is used as a simple microscope. Calculate its magnifying power when image formed lies at:

  1. Infinity.
  2. Least distance of distinct vision (D = 25 cm).

A compound microscope consists of two converging lenses. One of them, of smaller aperture and smaller focal length, is called objective and the other of slightly larger aperture and slightly larger focal length is called eye-piece. Both lenses are fitted in a tube with an arrangement to vary the distance between them. A tiny object is placed in front of the objective at a distance slightly greater than its focal length. The objective produces the image of the object which acts as an object for the eye-piece. The eye-piece, in turn, produces the final magnified image.

In a compound microscope, the images formed by the objective and the eye-piece are respectively.
