उत्तर
(a) The maximum possible magnification is obtained when the image is formed at the near point (d = 25 cm).
Image distance, v = −d = −25 cm
Focal length, f = 10 cm
Object distance = u
According to the lens formula, we have:
`1/"f" = 1/"v" - 1/"u"`
`1/"u" = 1/"v" - 1/"f"`
= `1/(-25) - 1/10`
= `(-2-5)/50`
= `- 7/50`
∴ u = `50/7` = −7.14 cm
Hence, to view the squares distinctly, the lens should be kept 7.14 cm away from them.
(b) Magnification = `|"v"/"u"| = 25/(50/7)` = 3.5
(c) Magnifying power = `"d"/"u" = 25/(50/7)` = 3.5
Since the image is formed at the near point (25 cm), the magnifying power is equal to the magnitude of magnification.
