MCQ
A compound microscope is used to enlarge an object kept at a distance $0.03\,m$ from it’s objective which consists of several convex lenses in contact and has focal length $0.02\,m$. If a lens of focal length $0.1\,m$ is removed from the objective, then by what distance the eye-piece of the microscope must be moved to refocus the image......$cm$
  • A
    $2.5$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $15$
  • $9$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$9$
d
(d) If initially the objective (focal length $F_o$) forms the image at distance $v_o$ then

${v_o} = \frac{{{u_o}{f_o}}}{{{u_o} - {f_o}}} = \frac{{3 \times 2}}{{3 - 2}} = 6\,cm$

Now as in case of lenses in contact

$\frac{1}{{{F_o}}} = \frac{1}{{{f_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{f_2}}} + \frac{1}{{{f_3}}} + ..... = \frac{1}{{{f_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{{F'}_o}}}$ 

where,   $ \frac{1}{{{{F'}_o}}} = \frac{1}{{{f_2}}} + \frac{1}{{{f_3}}} + ...... $

So if one of the lens is removed, the focal length of the remaining lens system

$\frac{1}{{{{F'}_o}}} = \frac{1}{{{F_0}}} - \frac{1}{{{f_1}}} = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{{10}}$ ==> ${F'_o} = 2.5\,cm$

This lens will form the image of same object at a distance

${v'_o}$ such that ${v'_o} = \frac{{{u_o}{{F'}_o}}}{{{u_o} - {{F'}_o}}} = \frac{{3 \times 2.5}}{{(3 - 2.5)}} = 15\,cm$

So to refocus the image, eye-piece must be moved by the same distance through which the image formed by the objective has shifted

$i.e. \,15 -6 = 9\, cm.$
