Explain simple microscope on the basis of the following points:
(a) Ray diagram for the formation of image;
(b) Expression for magnifying power when the final image is formed:
(i) At the least distance of distinct vision;
(ii) At infinity.
(a) Ray diagram : - (Ref. image).
(b) Expression for magnifying power: The ratio of the visual angle of image to the visual angle of object, placed at the least distance of distinct vision, is called magnifying power.
m=Visual angle of imageVisual angle of object placed at the least distance of distinct vision
or m=βα
As the angles α and β are small.
Therefore, m=tanβtanα ......(i)
In ΔAOB, tanβ=ABOB
and in ΔA′′OB′,
tanα=A′′B′B′O
∴ m=AB/OBA′′B′/B′O
or m=ABOB×DAB
(∵A′′B′=AB and BO=D=Least distance of distinct vision)
Or m=DOB
By sign convention, D will be negative and OB=−u.
∴ m=−D−u
Or m=Du .....(i)
Where, u is the distance of object from the lens.
(i) when the image is formed distinct vision at the least distance of:
from lens formula, 1f=1v−1u
1f=1−v−1−u (from sign convention)
Or 1f=−1v+1u
But v=D= Least distance of distinct vision
∴ 1f=−1D+1u
Or Df=−1+Du
Or 1+Df=Du
Putting the value in equation (ii)
m=1+Df
(ii) When the image is formed at infinity:
u=f
From equation (i) m=Df
For greater magnification, focal length should be small.
