A simple magnifying lens is used in such a way that an image is formed at `25 cm` away from the eye. In order to have 10 times magnification, the focal length of the lens should be

A

`5 cm`

B

`2 cm`

C

`25 mm`

D

`0.1 mm`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`m=1+(D)/(f_(e))implies10=1+(25)/(f_(e))impliesf_(e)=(25)/(9)~=25m`
