MCQ 341 Mark
When the length of a microscope tube is increased, its magnifying power :
  • increases
  • B
    decreases
  • C
    becomes zero
  • D
    remains unchanged
Answer
Correct option: A.
increases
(A) increases
[Hint : $M=-\left(\frac{L}{f_o}\right)\left(1+\frac{D}{f_e}\right)$
when final image is formed at least distance of distinct vision
$\Rightarrow \quad M=-\left(\frac{L}{f_o}\right)\left(\frac{D}{f_e}\right)$when final image is formed at infinity.
where $\quad L =$ length of microscope
$\Rightarrow \quad M \propto L$
Hence on increasing the length of microscope its magnifying power increases.
