JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 5th September Morning Slot - No. 1)

A compound microscope consists of an objective lens of focal length 1 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 5 cm with a separation of 10 cm.
The distance between an object and the objective lens, at which the strain on the eye is minimum is $${n \over {40}}$$ cm. The value of n is _____.
Answer
50

Explanation

JEE Main 2020 (Online) 5th September Morning Slot Physics - Geometrical Optics Question 141 English Explanation

Given, L = |v0| + |ue| = 10 cm

(ve = $$\infty $$)

$${1 \over {{v_e}}} - {1 \over {{u_e}}} = {1 \over {{f_e}}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${1 \over \infty } - {1 \over {{u_e}}} = {1 \over 5}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ ue = -5

$$ \Rightarrow $$ |ue| = 5 cm

$$ \therefore $$ |v0| + 5 = 10 cm

$$ \Rightarrow $$ |v0| = 5 cm

For objective, v0 = 5 cm, f0 = 1 cm

$${1 \over {{v_0}}} - {1 \over {{u_0}}} = {1 \over {{f_0}}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${1 \over 5} - {1 \over {{u_0}}} = {1 \over 1}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ u0 = $$ - {5 \over 4}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ |u0| = $${5 \over 4}$$ = $${{50} \over {40}}$$ = $${n \over {40}}$$

$$ \therefore $$ n = 50
