JEE Main & Advanced Physics Ray Optics Question Bank Microscope and Telescope

  • question_answer
    The focal lengths of the objective and eye-lens of a microscope are 1 cm and 5 cm respectively. If the magnifying power for the relaxed eye is 45, then the length of the tube is                                        [CPMT 1979]

    A)            30 cm                                      

    B)                                25 cm

    C)            15 cm                                      

    D)            12 cm

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               By using \[{{m}_{\infty }}=\frac{({{L}_{\infty }}-{{f}_{o}}-{{f}_{e}}).D}{{{f}_{o}}{{f}_{e}}}\]            \[\Rightarrow 45=\frac{({{L}_{\infty }}-1-5)\times 25}{1\times 5}\Rightarrow {{L}_{\infty }}=15\,cm\].
