Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 12

A microscope has an objective of focal length 2 cm, eyepiece of focal length 4 cm and the tube length of 40 cm. If the distance of distinct vision of eye is 25 cm, the magnification in the microscope is

A

100

B

125

C

150

D

250

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The magnification of a compound microscope is given by the formula M = (L/f₀) × (D/fₑ), where L is the tube length, f₀ is the focal length of the objective, D is the distance of distinct vision, and fₑ is the focal length of the eyepiece. Substituting the given values, M = (40/2) × (25/4) = 125.
