A compound microscope is designed with two symmetric biconvex lenses. The objective lens is cut vertically, creating two identical plano-convex lenses. One of them is used in place of original objective lens. To retain same magnification keeping the object distance unchanged, the tube length has to be
- A increased two times
- B increased \(\dfrac{3}{2}\) times
- C decreased two times
- D decreased \(\dfrac{3}{2}\) times
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) increased two times
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Focal length of the objective after cutting: For a symmetric biconvex lens with both radii of magnitude \(R\): \(\dfrac{1}{f_o} = (\mu - 1)\left(\dfrac{1}{R} - \dfrac{1}{-R}\right) = \dfrac{2(\mu - 1)}{R}\) When the lens is cut vertically (perpendicular to the principal axis),…
