The correct Answer is:
To find the maximum magnification that can be obtained with a convex lens of focal length 2.5 cm, we can use the formula for maximum magnification (M) given by: \[ M = 1 + \frac{d}{f} \] where: - \( M \) is the maximum magnification, - \( d \) is the least distance of distinct vision (25 cm), - \( f \) is the focal length of the lens (2.5 cm). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the values:** - Focal length \( f = 2.5 \) cm - Least distance of distinct vision \( d = 25 \) cm 2. **Substitute the values into the formula:** \[ M = 1 + \frac{d}{f} = 1 + \frac{25 \text{ cm}}{2.5 \text{ cm}} \] 3. **Calculate \( \frac{d}{f} \):** - First, divide 25 by 2.5: \[ \frac{25}{2.5} = 10 \] 4. **Add 1 to the result:** \[ M = 1 + 10 = 11 \] 5. **Conclusion:** - The maximum magnification that can be obtained with the convex lens is \( M = 11 \). ### Final Answer: The maximum magnification is **11**. ---
