A lens of power 16 D is used as a simple microscope. In order to obtain maximum magnification, at what distance from the lens should a small object be placed? (a) 5 cm (b) 10 cm (c) 16 cm (d) 25 cm |

Answer» Correct Answer is: (a) 5 cm f = 100 cm/16 = 6.25 cm Maximum magnification is obtained when the image is formed at D = 25 cm. Thus, v = -25 cm. 1/v - 1/u = 1/f gives u = - 5 cm. |
