The objective lens of a compound microscope produces a magnification of $10$. In order to get an overall magnification of $100$ when the image is formed at $25 \, cm$ from the eye,the focal length of the eye lens should be:

  • A
    $4 \, cm$
  • B
    $10 \, cm$
  • C
    $\frac{25}{9} \, cm$
  • D
    $9 \, cm$

The magnifying power of a simple microscope can be increased if we use an eyepiece of:

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:

Mention the maximum magnification of a simple microscope.

The focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece of a compound microscope are $1 \, cm$ and $5 \, cm$ respectively. If the magnification is $45$,what is the length of the tube in $cm$?

Magnification of a compound microscope is $30$. The focal length of the eyepiece is $5 \, cm$ and the image is formed at the near point (distance of distinct vision) of $25 \, cm$. The magnification of the objective lens is:
