In a compound microscope the focal length of objective lens is \(1.2\, cm\) and focal length of eye piece is \(3.0\, cm\). When object is kept at \(1.25\, cm\) in front of objective, final image is formed at infinity. Magnifying power of the compound microscope should be

  1. A \(200\)
  2. B \(100\)
  3. C \(400\)
  4. D \(150\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(200\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(: f_{0}=1.2\, \mathrm{cm} ; f_{\mathrm{e}}=3.0 \,\mathrm{cm}\) \(u_{0}=1.25\, \mathrm{cm} ; M_{\infty}=?\) From \(\frac{1}{f_{0}}=\frac{1}{v_{0}}-\frac{1}{u_{0}}\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{1.2}=\frac{1}{v_{0}}-\frac{1}{(-1.25)}\)…
