  • (a) Decreases
  • B
    (b) Increases
  • C
    (c) Does not change
  • D
    (d) May decrease or increase

Answer

Correct option: A.
(a) Decreases
(a) For a microscope $|m|=\frac{v_o}{u_o} \times \frac{D}{u_e}$ and $L=v_o+u_e$For a given microscope, with increase in $L, u$ will increase and hence magnifying power $(m)$ will decrease.
