प्रश्न
Define the magnifying power of a compound microscope when the final image is formed at infinity. Why must both the objective and the eyepiece of a compound microscope has short focal lengths? Explain.
उत्तर
When the final image is formed at infinity.
When the final image is formed at infinity, the angular magnification due to the eyepiece is
me = D/fe
Thus, the total magnification when the image is formed at infinity can be defined as the product of magnification of objective lens and eyepiece. i.e
m = mome = (L/fo) (D/fe)
From the above the equation, we can see that to achieve a large magnification of a small object, the objective and eyepiece should have small focal lengths.

| 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. |
