NEET Physics Optical Instruments MCQ Question
In a simple microscope setup, as described in Figure 9.23 of the NCERT textbook, if the image is formed at the near point, what is the correct expression for the linear magnification (m)?
m = 1 + (D / f)
m = D / f
m = D / (f + D)
m = 1 + (f / D)
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The linear magnification for a simple microscope when the image is at the near point is given by m = 1 + (D / f), as per the NCERT context.
