$A$ compound microscope consists of an eyepiece of focal length $6.25 \, cm$ and an objective lens of focal length $2.0 \, cm$,separated by a distance of $15 \, cm$. What is the magnifying power when the final image is formed at infinity?

  • A
    $10.32$
  • B
    $11.45$
  • C
    $24.42$

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: For a simple microscope,the angular size of the object equals the angular size of the image.
Reason $R$: Magnification is achieved as the small object can be kept much closer to the eye than $25\, cm$ and hence it subtends a large angle.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Magnifying power of a simple microscope is (when final image is formed at $D = 25 \ cm$ from eye)

If the focal length of the objective lens and the eye lens are $4 \, mm$ and $25 \, mm$ respectively in a compound microscope,and the length of the tube is $16 \, cm$,find its magnifying power for the relaxed eye position.

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.

For a compound microscope,the focal lengths of the objective lens and the eye lens are ${f_o}$ and ${f_e}$ respectively. The microscope provides magnification when:
