L310D1 cm

  1. A L2 as eyepiece and L3 as objective
  2. B L3 as eyepiece and L2 as objective
  3. C L2 as eyepiece and L1 as objective
  4. D L1 as eyepiece and L2 as objective
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) L2 as eyepiece and L3 as objective

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For a microscope, the objective lens requires high power and small aperture, while the eyepiece requires low power and large aperture. Objective L2: Power = \( 6D \), Aperture = \( 1 \text{ cm} \). Eyepiece L1: Power = \( 3D \), Aperture = \( 8 \text{ cm} \). This selection…
