Calculate the maximum magnifying power of a simple microscope consisting of a convex lens of focal length `5 cm`. Distance of distinct vision is `25 cm`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the maximum magnifying power of a simple microscope, we can use the formula for magnifying power (M) given by: \[ M = \frac{D}{f} + 1 \] Where: - \( D \) is the distance of distinct vision (usually taken as 25 cm), - \( f \) is the focal length of the lens. ...
