NEET Physics Optical Instruments Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): When using a simple microscope, the image formed at the near point provides greater magnification than when the image is formed at infinity.
Reason (R): The angular magnification of a simple microscope is greater when the image is at the near point compared to when it is at infinity.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context mentions that the angular magnification is greater when the image is at the near point compared to infinity, which explains why the magnification is higher in that case.
