Q 133 Marks Question3 Marks
Why are the magnification properties of microscopes and telescopes defined in terms of the ratio of angles and not in terms of the ratio of sizes of objects and images?

Q 143 Marks Question3 Marks
The magnifying power of a simple microscope is given by $1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}},$ where D is the least distance for clear vision. For farsighted persons, D is greater than the usual. Does it mean that the magnifying power of a simple microscope is greater for a farsighted person as compared to a normal person? Does it mean that a farsighted person can see an insect more clearly under a microscope than a normal person?

Tree Height(m) Distance form the eye(m)
A 2.8 50
B 2.5 80
C 1.8 70
D 2.8 100

Q 163 Marks Question3 Marks
The magnifying power of a converging lens used as a simple microscope is $\Big(1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}}\Big).$ A compound microscope is a combination of two such converging lenses. Why don't we have magnifying power $\Big(1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}_\text{o}}\Big) \Big(1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}_\text{o}}\Big)?$ In other words, why can the objective not be treated as a simple microscope but the eyepiece can?

Q 185 Marks Questions5 Marks
A lady uses +1.5D glasses to have normal vision from 25cm onwards. She uses a 20D lens as a simple microscope to see an object. Find the maximum magnifying power if she uses then microscope
  1. Together with her glass
  2. Without the glass. Do the answers suggest that an object can be more clearly seen through a microscope without using the correcting glasses?

Q 225 Marks Questions5 Marks
A compound microscope consists of an objective of focal length $1cm$ and an eyepiece of focal length $5cm$. An object is placed at a distance of $0.5cm$ from the objective. What should be the separation between the lenses so that the microscope projects an inverted real image of the object on a screen $30cm$ behind the eyepiece?
