Answer the following questions:
$(a)$ The angle subtended at the eye by an object is equal to the angle subtended at the eye by the virtual image produced by a magnifying glass. In what sense then does a magnifying glass provide angular magnification?
$(b)$ In viewing through a magnifying glass,one usually positions one's eyes very close to the lens. Does angular magnification change if the eye is moved back?
$(c)$ Magnifying power of a simple microscope is inversely proportional to the focal length of the lens. What then stops us from using a convex lens of smaller and smaller focal length and achieving greater and greater magnifying power?
$(d)$ Why must both the objective and the eyepiece of a compound microscope have short focal lengths?
$(e)$ When viewing through a compound microscope,our eyes should be positioned not on the eyepiece but a short distance away from it for best viewing. Why? How much should be that short distance between the eye and eyepiece?

In a compound microscope,the objective of focal length ${f_o}$ and the eyepiece of focal length ${f_e}$ are placed at a distance $L$ such that $L$ equals:

The focal lengths of the objective and the eyepiece of a compound microscope are $2 \,cm$ and $3 \,cm$ respectively, and the distance between them is $15 \,cm$. The final image formed by the eyepiece is at infinity. The distances of the object and the image produced by the objective lens from the objective lens are respectively:

Which of the following statements are true in the context of a Compound Microscope?
$(A)$ Each lens produces a virtual and inverted image.
$(B)$ The objective has a very short focal length.
$(C)$ The eyepiece is used as a simple magnifying glass.
$(D)$ The objective and eyepiece are convex and concave lenses respectively.
