The magnification power of a compound microscope is given in terms of the magnification of the objective $m_0$ and the magnification power of the eyepiece $m_E$. The total magnification is:

  • A
    $m_0 / m_E$
  • B
    $m_0 \times m_E$
  • C
    $m_0 + m_E$
  • D
    $m_0 - m_E$

An object viewed from a near point distance of $25 \, cm$,using a microscopic lens with magnification $6$,gives an unresolved image. $A$ resolved image is observed at infinite distance with a total magnification double the earlier,using an eyepiece along with the given lens and a tube of length $0.6 \, m$. The focal length of the eyepiece is equal to $.... \, cm$.

We wish to make a microscope with the help of two positive lenses,both with a focal length of $20\, mm$ each,and the object is positioned $25\, mm$ from the objective lens. How far apart should the lenses be so that the final image is formed at infinity?......$mm$
