A compound microscope has an objective of focal length 1.25 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 5 cm separated by a distance of 7.5 cm. The total magnification produced by the microscope when the final image forms at infinity is

  1. A \(6.25\)
  2. B \(30\)
  3. C \(120\)
  4. D \(72.5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(30\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(M = \left(\frac{L}{f_o}\right) \left(\frac{D}{f_e}\right)\) \(M = \left(\frac{7.5 \text{ cm}}{1.25 \text{ cm}}\right) \left(\frac{25 \text{ cm}}{5 \text{ cm}}\right)\) \(M = (6) \times (5)\) \(M = 30\)
