JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 4th September Morning Slot - No. 20)

In a compound microscope, the magnified virtual image is formed at a distance of 25 cm from the eye-piece. The focal length of its objective lens is 1 cm. If the magnification is 100 and the tube length of the microscope is 20 cm, then the focal length of the eye-piece lens (in cm) is __________.
Answer
6.25

Explanation

L = 20, f0 = 1cm, M = 100

$$M = {{{v_0}} \over {{u_0}}}\left( {1 + {D \over {{f_e}}}} \right)$$

$$ \therefore $$ $$M = {L \over {{f_0}}}\left( {1 + {D \over {{f_e}}}} \right)$$ [v0 $$ \approx $$ L, u0 $$ \approx $$ f0]

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${{20} \over 1}\left( {1 + {{25} \over {{f_e}}}} \right)$$ = 100

on solving we get

fe = 6.25 cm
