The total magnification produced by a compound microscope is 24 when the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision. If the focal length of the eyepiece is 5 cm, the magnification produced by the objective is

  1. A \(4\)
  2. B \(4.8\)
  3. C \(120\)
  4. D \(6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(M_o = \frac{M}{1 + \frac{D}{f_e}}\) \(M_o = \frac{24}{1 + \frac{25 \text{ cm}}{5 \text{ cm}}}\) \(M_o = \frac{24}{1 + 5}\) \(M_o = \frac{24}{6}\) \(M_o = 4\)
