Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: For a simple microscope,the angular size of the object equals the angular size of the image.
Reason $R$: Magnification is achieved as the small object can be kept much closer to the eye than $25\, cm$ and hence it subtends a large angle.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  • A
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false.
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$.
  • C
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
  • D
    $A$ is false but $R$ is true.

$A$ compound microscope is designed with two symmetric biconvex lenses. The objective lens is cut vertically,creating two identical plano-convex lenses. One of them is used in place of the original objective lens. To retain the same magnification while keeping the object distance unchanged,the tube length has to be

The least distance of distinct vision is $25 \ cm$. Find the magnifying power of a simple microscope of focal length $5 \ cm$ if the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision.

The length of the compound microscope is $14 \, cm$. The magnifying power for a relaxed eye is $25$. If the focal length of the eye lens is $5 \, cm$,then the object distance for the objective lens will be.......$ cm$.
