Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(22\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(M =\frac{ v _{0}}{+ u _{0}}\left(1+\frac{ d }{ fe }\right)\)

focal length of objective lens is small \(u_{0} \simeq f _{0}\). Alos as focal length of eye is small

\(v _{0} \simeq L\)

\( M =\frac{ L }{+ f _{0}}\left(1+\frac{ d }{ f _{ e }}\right) \)

\(\Rightarrow 375=\frac{150}{5}\left(1+\frac{250}{ f _{ e }}\right)\)

\(\Rightarrow \frac{375}{30}=\left(1+\frac{250}{f_{e}}\right)\)

\(\Rightarrow \frac{375}{30}-1=\frac{250}{f_{e}}\)

\(\Rightarrow \frac{345}{30}=\frac{250}{f_{e}}\)

\(\Rightarrow f _{e}=2.2 \;cm\)

\(F _{ e }=22\; mm\)
