उत्तर
Show L in figure
`tan beta = h/(f_0) .... (1)`
`tan beta = h'/L ..... (2)`
`h'/h =Lf_0` [Using (1) and (2)]
`m_0 = h'/h = L/f_0` [Magnification due to objective]
`m_e = 1+D/f_e`
Net magnification (m) =`m_0m_e`
`|m = (L/f_0) (D/f_e)|`
f0 and fe are in denominator.
This formula contains foand fe in denominator. Therefore, both the objective and the eyepiece of a compound microscope must have short focal lengths.

A compound microscope forms an inverted image of an object. In which of the following cases it it likely to create difficulties?
Consider the following two statements :-
(A) Line spectra contain information about atoms.
(B) Band spectra contain information about molecules.
An eye can distinguish between two points of an object if they are separated by more than 0.22 mm when the object is placed at 25 cm from the eye. The object is now seen by a compound microscope having a 20 D objective and 10 D eyepiece separated by a distance of 20 cm. The final image is formed at 25 cm from the eye. What is the minimum separation between two points of the object which can now be distinguished?
Define the magnifying power of a microscope in terms of visual angle.
Draw a labelled ray diagram showing the formation of image by a compound microscope in normal adjustment. Derive the expression for its magnifying power.
| 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. |
The focal lengths of the objective and eye-piece of a compound microscope are 1.2 cm and 3.0 cm respectively. The object is placed at a distance of 1.25 cm from the objective. If the final image is formed at infinity, the magnifying power of the microscope would be:
The focal lengths of the objective and the eye-piece of a compound microscope are 1.0 cm and 2.5 cm respectively. Find the tube length of the microscope for obtaining a magnification of 300.
