JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 20th July Morning Shift - No. 22)

An object viewed from a near point distance of 25 cm, using a microscopic lens with magnification '6', gives an unresolved image. A resolved image is observed at infinite distance with a total magnification double the earlier using an eyepiece along with the given lens and a tube of length 0.6 m, if the focal length of the eyepiece is equal to __________ cm.
Answer
25

Explanation

Given, magnification, M = 6

Since we know that magnifying power of a simple microscope is given by

$$M = 1 + {D \over {{f_0}}}$$

where, D = least distance of distinct vision = 25 cm

and f0 = focal length of objective lens.

$$ \Rightarrow 6 = 1 + {D \over {{f_0}}} \Rightarrow 6 = 1 + {{25} \over {{f_0}}} \Rightarrow 5 = {{25} \over {{f_0}}} \Rightarrow {f_0} = 5$$ cm

For compound microscope, magnifying power is given by

$$M = {{I\,.\,D} \over {{f_0}{f_e}}} = 2$$Msimple microscope

where, f0 = fe are the focal lengths of the objective lens and eye piece respectively

and l = length of the given tube = 0.6 m

$$ \Rightarrow 12 = {{60 \times 25} \over {5\,.\,{f_e}}}$$ [$$\because$$ magnification is doubled]

$$\Rightarrow$$ fe = 25 cm

This is the required focal length of eyepiece.
