Solution
i. Compound microscope
ii. Scientifically and technically correct figure.
(Object, Objective lens, Eye piece, Image)
iii. Magnification is obtained by the combined effect of two
lenses. The magnification occurs in two stages. The image formed by the first lens acts as the object for the second lens. Clear image can be obtained by adjusting the distance between two lenses.
iv. To study small sized objects like blood cells, animal and plant
cells, bacteria.
v. Any relevant remedy (For example, Selection of lens with
appropriate focal length)

To determine the approximate focal length of the given convex lens by focussing a distant object (say, a sign board), you try to focus the image of the object on a screen. The image you obtain on the screen is always
(a) erect and laterally inverted
(b) erect and diminished
(c) inverted and diminished
(d) virtual, inverted and diminished
To find the image-distance for varying object-distances in case of a convex lens, a student obtains on a screen a sharp image of a bright object placed very far from the lens. After that he gradually moves the object towards the lens and each time focuses its image of the screen.
(a) In which direction – towards or away from the lens, does he move the screen to focus the object?
(b) What happens to the size of image – does it increase or decrease?
(c) What happen when he moves the object very close to the lens?
