In a simple microscope,if the final image is located at infinity,then its magnifying power is:

What is a compound microscope? Explain its construction with the help of a figure.

For which of the following colours will the magnifying power of a microscope be maximum?

$A$ compound microscope consists of an objective lens of focal length $2.0 \;cm$ and an eyepiece of focal length $6.25 \;cm$ separated by a distance of $15\;cm$. How far from the objective should an object be placed in order to obtain the final image at
$(a)$ the least distance of distinct vision $(25\;cm)$,and
$(b)$ at infinity? What is the magnifying power of the microscope in each case?

$(a)$ $A$ card sheet divided into squares each of size $1 \; mm^2$ is being viewed through a magnifying glass (a converging lens of focal length $9 \; cm$) held close to the eye. Where should the lens be held in order to view the squares distinctly with the maximum possible magnifying power?
$(b)$ What is the magnification in this case?
$(c)$ Is the magnification equal to the magnifying power in this case? Explain.

$A$ compound microscope has a magnifying power of $30$. The focal length of its eyepiece is $5 \, cm$. Assuming the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision,the magnification produced by the objective is:
