1.	In a compound microscope the object is 1cm from the objective lens. The lenses are 30cm apart and the intermediate image is 5cm from the eyepiece. What magnification is produced?
Answer» SOLUTION :As the LENSES are 30cm apart and intermediate image is formed 5cm in FRONT of eye lens, `u_e=5cm and v=L-u_e=30-5=25cm` Now as in case of compound microscope `M=m_0 times m_e=-v/u times [D/u_e]` Here u=1cm and D=25cm So, `M=-25/1 times [25/5]=-125` Negative sign impiles that FIND image is inverted
