Question
  1. Draw a ray diagram showing the image formation by a compound microscope. Hence obtain expression for total magnification when the image is formed at infinity.
  2. Distinguish between myopia and hypermetropia. Show diagrammatically how these defects can be corrected.

Answer

  1. Difference between myopia and hypermetropia
Myopia

Hypermetropia

  1. The eye ball is elongated.
  1. The eye ball is shortened.
  1. Person cannot see distant objects clearly.
  1. Person cannot see near objects clearly.
  • Myopic eye is corrected by interposing a concave lens between eye and object.
  • Hypermetropia is corrected by interposing a convex lens between eye and object.

  1. If image A 'B' is exactly at the focus of the eyepiece, then image A "B" is formed at infinity. If the object AB is very close to the focus of the objective lens of focal length fo, then magnification Mo by the objective lens

$\text{M}_{e} = \frac{\text{L}}{\text{f}_{o}}$

where L is tube length (or distance between lenses Lo and Le)

Magnification Me by the eyepiece

$\text{M}_{e} = \frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}_{e}}$

where D = Least distance of distinct vision Total magnification m = MoMe

$ = \bigg(\frac{\text{L}}{\text{f}_{o}}\bigg)\bigg(\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}_{e}}\bigg).$

A conducting wire XY of mass m and neglibile resistance slides smoothly on two parallel conducting wires as shown in Fig. The closed circuit has a resistance R due to AC. AB and CD are perfect conductors. There is a magnetic field $\text{B}=\text{B}(\text{t})\hat{\text{k}}$.

A magnetic field set up using Helmholtz coils (described in Exercise 4.16) is uniform in a small region and has a magnitude of 0.75 T. In the same region, a uniform electrostatic field is maintained in a direction normal to the common axis of the coils. A narrow beam of (single species) charged particles all accelerated through 15 kV enters this region in a direction perpendicular to both the axis of the coils and the electrostatic field. If the beam remains undeflected when the electrostatic field is 9.0 × 10–5 V m–1, make a simple guess as to what the beam contains. Why is the answer not unique?
