JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 7th January Morning Slot - No. 7)

If we need a magnification of 375 from a compound microscope of tube length 150 mm and an objective of focal length 5 mm, the focal length of the eye-piece, should be close to :
22 mm
12 mm
33 mm
2 mm

Explanation

Case 1 : Near – point adjustment

M.P = $${L \over {{f_0}}}\left( {1 + {D \over {{f_e}}}} \right)$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ 375 = $${{150} \over 5}\left( {1 + {{250} \over {{f_e}}}} \right)$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ fe = 21.7 mm $$ \approx $$ 22 mm

Case-2 : If final image is at inifinity

M.P = $${L \over {{f_0}}}\left( {{D \over {{f_e}}}} \right)$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$375 = $${{150} \over 5}\left( {{{250} \over {{f_e}}}} \right)$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ fe = 20 mm
