Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Both objective and eyepiece have short focal length

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Both objective and eyepiece have short focal length The magnifying power of a compound microscope is given by: \(M=\frac{D}{f_o} \times\left(1+\frac{D}{f_e}\right)\) \(f_o\) is the focal length of the eyepiece, D is the least distance of distinct vision (typically about 25 cm).…
