The intermediate image formed by an objective lens of a compound microscope is
- A virtual and diminished
- B real and magnified
- C virtual and magnified
- D real and diminished
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) real and magnified
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
See the ray diagram of image formation using the compound microscope given below:

The objective lens \(O_1\) forms an image \(A^{\prime} B^{\prime}\) which is real, inverted as well as magnified.

The objective lens \(O_1\) forms an image \(A^{\prime} B^{\prime}\) which is real, inverted as well as magnified.
