When the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision $(D)$ from the eye,the magnifying power of a simple microscope is ($f$ is the focal length of the lens):

  • A
    $1+\frac{f}{D}$
  • B
    $1+\frac{D}{f}$
  • C
    $\frac{D}{f}$
  • D

$A$ compound microscope with an objective lens of focal length $1 \, cm$ and an eyepiece of $2 \, cm$ focal length has a tube length of $20 \, cm$. Calculate the magnifying power of the microscope,if the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision.

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 $....... \,cm$.

$A$ 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. What should be the distance between the object and the magnifying glass if the virtual image of each square in the figure is to have an area of $6.25 \; mm^{2}$? Would you be able to see the squares distinctly with your eyes very close to the magnifier?
