    A microscope has an objective of focal length 1.5 cm and an eye-piece of focal length 2.5 cm. If the distance between objective and eye-piece is 20.5 cm, what is the magnification produced when the final image is at infinite distance away?

    A)  120                                       

    B)  115

    C)  110                                       

    D)  105

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     The final image is formed at infinity, ie, image formed by eye-piece is at infinity. It mean that objective has formed the image at focus of eye lens. So,      \[{{v}_{0}}=20.5-2.5\]                 \[=18\,cm,\] \[{{f}_{0}}=1.5\,cm\] From     \[\frac{1}{{{f}_{o}}}=\frac{1}{{{v}_{o}}}-\frac{1}{{{u}_{o}}}\]                 \[\frac{1}{1.5}=\frac{1}{18}-\frac{1}{{{u}_{o}}}\] \[\frac{1}{{{u}_{o}}}=\frac{1}{18}-\frac{1}{1.5}\] \[=\frac{5-60}{90}\] \[=-\frac{55}{90}=-\frac{11}{18}\] \[{{u}_{o}}=-\frac{18}{11}cm\] Magnification \[M=-\frac{{{v}_{o}}}{{{u}_{o}}}\cdot \frac{D}{{{f}_{e}}}\] \[=-\frac{18}{18/11}\times \frac{25}{2.5}\] \[=110\]
