A person uses `+ 1.5 D` glasses to have normal vision from `25 cm` onwards. He uses a `20 D` lens as a simple microscope to see an object. Calculate the maximum magnifying power, if he uses the microscope
(a) together with his glasses
(b) without the glasses.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, `P_(1) = 1.5 D : d = 25 cm`,
`P_(2) = 20 D`
(a) with glasses on
`M = 1 + (D)/(f_(2)) = 1 + (25)/(100//20) = 6`
(b) without glasses, Focal length of glasses,
`f_(1) = (100)/(P_(1)) = (100)/(1.5) = (200)/(3)cm`.
`u = - 25 cm, v = ?`
As `(1)/(v) - (1)/(u) = (1)/(f_(1))`
`:. (1)/(v) = (1)/(f_(1)) + (1)/(u) = (3)/(200) - (1)/(25) = (3 - 8)/(200) = (-5)/(200)`
`v = - 40 cm`.
`M = 1 + (v)/(f_(2)) = 1 + (40)/(100//20) = 9`
