The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to calculate the maximum magnification that can be achieved using a +20 D lens as a simple microscope without the glasses. ### Step 1: Understand the given data - The power of the lens (P) = +20 D - The power of the glasses (Pg) = +1.5 D - The near point for normal vision (D) = 25 cm ### Step 2: Calculate the focal length of the glasses The focal length (f) of a lens can be calculated using the formula: \[ f = \frac{100}{P} \] For the glasses: \[ f_g = \frac{100}{1.5} = \frac{100 \times 2}{3} = \frac{200}{3} \text{ cm} \approx 66.67 \text{ cm} \] ### Step 3: Determine the effective near point without glasses The glasses allow the person to see clearly at 25 cm. Without the glasses, the person can see at a distance determined by the focal length of the glasses. The distance (u) at which the person can see without glasses can be calculated using the lens formula: \[ \frac{1}{f_g} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} \] Where: - \( v = -25 \) cm (the image distance for normal vision) - \( f_g = \frac{200}{3} \) cm Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{f_g} \] Substituting the values: \[ \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{-25} - \frac{3}{200} \] Finding a common denominator (200): \[ \frac{1}{u} = \frac{-8}{200} - \frac{3}{200} = \frac{-11}{200} \] Thus, \[ u = -\frac{200}{11} \approx -18.18 \text{ cm} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the focal length of the simple microscope The focal length (f) of the +20 D lens is: \[ f_m = \frac{100}{20} = 5 \text{ cm} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the maximum magnification The magnification (M) of a simple microscope is given by: \[ M = 1 + \frac{D}{f} \] Where D is the distance at which the person can see without glasses (in cm) and f is the focal length of the microscope (in cm). Substituting the values: \[ M = 1 + \frac{40}{5} = 1 + 8 = 9 \] ### Conclusion The maximum magnification that the person can achieve using the +20 D lens as a simple microscope without the glasses is **9**. ---
