The focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece of a compound microscope are 8mm and 2.5 cm respectively . A man with normal near point (25 cm)can focus distinctly the microscope . What is the separation between the lenses and magnification power of the instrument ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Forthe OBJECTIVE, `f_o =0.8 CM andu_(o) =-0.9 cm `
From `1/v-1/u=1/f`, we get
`v_o =(0.8xx(-0.9))/(-0.9+0.8)=7.2 cm `
For the EYEPIECE ,`f_e =2.5 cm and v_e=-25 cm `
`therefore u_e=(v_ef_e)/(f_e-v_e)=(-25xx2.5)/(2.5+25)=-(25)/(11)=-2.27 cm `
`therefore` The distance between the two lenses
`=v_(o)+u_e=7.2+2.27=9.47 cm `
`therefore` Magnification power ,
`m=(v_o)/(u_o)xx(v_e)/(u_e)=(7.2)/(0.9)xx(25/25)/(11)=88`
