Question
A lady uses + 1.5 D glasses to have normal vision from 25 cm onwards. She uses a 20 D lens as a simple microscope to see an object. Find the maximum magnifying power if she uses the microscope (a) together with her glass (b) without the glass. Do the answers suggest that an object can be more clearly seen through a microscope without using the correcting glasses?

Solution
Given:
The lady uses glasses of +1.5 D to have normal vision from 25 cm onwards.
Least distance of clear vision, D = 25 cm
Focal length of the glasses, f = `1/(Power) = 1/1.5` m
She should have greater least distance of distinct vision without the glasses.
Take:
u = – 25 cm = - 0.25 m
The lens formula is given by
`1/v -1/u = 1/f`
Putting the values, we get:
`1/v = 1.5 -1/0.25 =2.5`
⇒ v = 0.4 m =40 cm
Near point without glasses = 40 cm
Focal length of magnifying glass, f = `1/20` = 0.05 m = 5 cm
(a) The maximum magnifying power () if she uses the microscope together with her glass is given by
m = `1+D/f`
Here,
D = 25 cm
f = 5 cm
On substituting the values, we get:
m = 1+`25/5 =6`
(b) Without the glasses, D = 40 cm.
∴ m = `1+D/f = 1 + 40/5 = 9`

| 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. |
A compound microscope consists of an objective of 10X and an eye-piece of 20X. The magnification due to the microscope would be:
