The parameter to be increased in order to increase the angular magnification of a simple microscope is

  1. A aperture of the lens
  2. B size of the object
  3. C power of the lens
  4. D focal length of the lens
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) power of the lens

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Angular magnification: \( M = 1 + \frac{D}{f} \). Power of lens: \( P = \frac{1}{f} \). Thus, \( M = 1 + DP \). To increase \( M \), increase \( P \).
