प्रश्न
A person with a normal near point (25 cm) using a compound microscope with the objective of focal length 8.0 mm and an eyepiece of focal length 2.5 cm can bring an object placed at 9.0 mm from the objective in sharp focus. What is the separation between the two lenses? Calculate the magnifying power of the microscope.

उत्तर
Focal length of the objective lens, fo = 8 mm = 0.8 cm
Focal length of the eyepiece, fe = 2.5 cm
Object distance for the objective lens, uo = −9.0 mm = −0.9 cm
Least distance of distant vision, d = 25 cm
Image distance for the eyepiece, ve = −d = −25 cm
Object distance for the eyepiece = ue
Using the lens formula, we can obtain the value of ue as:
`1/v_e - 1/u_e = 1/f_e`
`1/u_e = 1/v_e - 1/f_e`
`1/u_e = 1/-25 - 1/2.5`
`1/u_e = (-1 - 10)/25`
`1/u_e = (-11)/25`
ue = `-25/11`
∴ ue = −2.27 cm
We can also obtain the value of the image distance for the objective lens (vo) using the lens formula.
`1/v_o = 1/u_o = 1/f_o`
`1/v_o = 1/f_o + 1/u_o`
`1/v_o = 1/0.8 - 1/0.9`
`1/v_o = (0.9 - 0.8)/0.72`
`1/v_o = 0.1/0.72`
∴ vo = 7.2 cm
The distance between the objective lens and the eyepiece = |ue| + vo
= 2.27 + 7.2
= 9.47 cm
The magnifying power of the microscope is calculated as:
`v_o/|u_o| (1 + d/f_e)`
= `7.2/0.9 (1 + 25/2.5)`
= 8 × (1 + 10)
= 88
Hence, the magnifying power of the microscope is 88.

| A compound microscope consists of two converging lenses. One of them, of smaller aperture and smaller focal length, is called objective and the other of slightly larger aperture and slightly larger focal length is called eye-piece. Both lenses are fitted in a tube with an arrangement to vary the distance between them. A tiny object is placed in front of the objective at a distance slightly greater than its focal length. The objective produces the image of the object which acts as an object for the eye-piece. The eye-piece, in turn, produces the final magnified image. |
