उत्तर
• Nearsightedness or Myopia − A person suffering from myopia can see only nearby objects clearly, but cannot see the objects beyond a certain distance clearly.
Myopic eye: 
Correction − In order to correct the eye for this defect, a concave lens of suitable focal length is placed close to the eye so that the parallel ray of light from an object at infinity after refraction through the lens appears to come from the far point P'of the myopic eye.
• Farsightedness or Hypermetropia − A person suffering from hypermetropia can see distant objects clearly, but cannot see nearby objects.
Hypermetropic eye:
Correction − To correct this defect, a convex lens of suitable focal length is placed close to the eye so that the rays of light from an object placed at the point N after refraction through the lens appear to come from the near point N'of the hypermetropic eye.

Can the image formed by a simple microscope be projected on a screen without using any additional lens or mirror?
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?
An angular magnification of 30X is desired using an objective of focal length 1.25 cm and an eye piece of focal length 5 cm. How will you set up the compound microscope for the final image formed at least distance of distinct vision?
| 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 magnification due to a compound microscope does not depend upon ______.
