JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 26th February Evening Shift - No. 13)

Given below are two statements : one is labeled as Assertion A and the other is labeled as Reason R.

Assertion A : For a simple microscope, the angular size of the object equals the angular size of the image.

Reason R : Magnification is achieved as the small object can be kept much closer to the eye than 25 cm and hence it subtends a large angle.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
A is true but R is false
A is false but R is true
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

Explanation

The formation of image with simple microscope is shown below.

Here, $$\theta ' = {h \over {{u_0}}} = {{h'} \over D} = {{h'} \over {25}}$$

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

Here, $$\theta$$' is same for both object and image, hence Assertion is true.

Magnification, $$m = {{\theta '} \over \theta } = {D \over {{u_0}}}$$

Hence, if u0 < D (25 cm), hence, the value of $$\theta$$' will obtain large.

So, option (c) is the correct.
