    The focal length of the objective of a compound microscope is 2 cm and that of eyepeice of microscope is 5 cm. These two lenses are separated by a distance of 25 cm. When the microscope is focussed for the minimum distance of distinct vision, the magnification will be

    A)  5                                            

    B)  30

    C)  56.5                                      

    D)  125

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Magnification of microscope for minimum distance of distinct vision is \[M=\frac{-{{v}_{0}}}{{{u}_{0}}}\left( 1+\frac{D}{{{f}_{e}}} \right)\] where, \[{{v}_{o}}+{{u}_{e}}=25,\]\[{{f}_{o}}=2\,cm,\]\[{{f}_{e}}=5\,cm,\] \[{{v}_{e}}=-\,25\,cm\] For eye-lens, \[\frac{1}{{{f}_{e}}}=\frac{1}{{{v}_{e}}}-\frac{1}{{{u}_{e}}}\] \[\frac{1}{{{u}_{e}}}=\frac{1}{{{v}_{e}}}-\frac{1}{{{f}_{e}}}\]                                 \[=\frac{-1}{25}-\frac{1}{5}\] \[{{u}_{e}}=-\frac{25}{6}\] \[{{v}_{o}}=25-\frac{25}{6}=\frac{125}{6}\] For objective,    \[\frac{1}{{{f}_{o}}}=\frac{1}{{{v}_{o}}}-\frac{1}{{{u}_{o}}}\] \[\frac{1}{{{u}_{o}}}=\frac{1}{{{v}_{o}}}-\frac{1}{{{f}_{o}}}\] \[=\frac{6}{125}-\frac{1}{2}\] \[{{u}_{o}}=-\frac{250}{113}\] \[\therefore \]  \[M=\left( \frac{125/6}{250/113} \right)\left( 1+\frac{25}{5} \right)\]                                 \[=56.5\]
