A simple microscope has a magnifying power of 3.0 when the image is formed at the near point (25 cm) of a normal eye. (a) What is its focal length? (b) What will be its magnifying power if the image is formed at infinity?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) For near point adjustment,
`m=1+ (D)/(f)rArr 3 =1+(25)/(f)` `rArr`   f = 12.5 cm..
 (b) Image formed at infinity le. in normal adjustment `m = D//f`
D = 25 cm, f = 12.5 cm: m = 2
