प्रश्न

Does the magnifying power of a microscope depend on the colour of the light used? Justify your answer.

उत्तर

A microscope consists of two lenses and we know focal length of a lens depends on the refractive index of the lens which itself depends on the wavelength or colour of the light used. Hence, if colour of light changes focal length of the lens also changes which would simultaneously change the image distance. This change in image distance will change the magnifying power (as magnifying power is the ratio of image distance to object distance). Therefore, we can say the magnifying power of a microscope depends on the colour of the light used.

A microscope is focussed on a mark on a piece of paper and then a slab of glass of thickness 3 cm and refractive index 1.5 is placed over the mark. How should the microscope be moved to get the mark in focus again?


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.
