The magnifying power of a simple microscope can be increased if we use eye piece of .........

A

higher focal length

B

lower focal length

C

larger diameter

D

smaller diameter

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D
For simple microscope,
Magnification (m) = `D/f`
Where D = near point, f = focal length of lens. From this equation it is clear that as f is smaller magnification is bigger.
