Question
A simple microscope is rated 5 for a normal relaxed eye. What will be its magnifying power for a relaxed farsighted eye whose near point is 40cm?
✓

Answer

The simple microscope has magnification of 5 for normal relaxed eye (D = 25cm).

Because, the eye is relaxed the image is formed at infinity (normal adjustment)

So, $\text{m}=5=\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}}=\frac{25}{\text{f}}\Rightarrow\text{f}=5\text{cm}$

For the relaxed farsighted eye, $\text{D} = 40\text{cm}$

So, $\text{m}=\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}}=\frac{40}{5}=8$

So, its magnifying power is 8X.
