Question

Answer the following question in detail.

What is the limitation in increasing the magnifying powers of a simple microscope?

Short Note

Solution

In the case of a simple microscope,

Mmax = `"D"/"u"=1+"D"/"f"`

Thus, the limitation in increasing the magnifying power is determined by the value of focal length and the closeness with which the lens can be held near the eye.
