Question

A converging lens of focal length f is used as simple microscope. If the least distance of distinct version of the observer is D and the lens is held close to the eye, the magnifying power of the lens is
  1. D/2f
  2. D/f
  3. Df1
  4. f/D

A
f/D
B
D/f
C
D/2f
D
Df1
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The magnifying power(M) of the lens is given by,
M=leastdistanceofdistinctversionfocallengthoflens
Therefore, as per given problem,
M=Df

Hence, option D is correct.

Q2
Fig 28.86 shows a simple version of zoom lens. The converging lens has focal length f1 and diverging lens has focal length f2=|f2|. The two lenses are separated by a variable distance d that is always less than f1. Also, the magnitude of the focal length of the diverging lens satisfies the inequality |f2|>f1d0. To find the focal length of the combination lens consider a bundle of parallel rays of radius r0 entering the converging lens.
1. Find the radius of the ray bundle r2 at the entrance of diverging lens.
