Question

If in compound microscope m₁ and m₂ be the linear magnification of the objective lens and eye lens respectively, then magnifying power of the compound microscope will be

• A. $m _ { 1 } - m _ { 2 }$
• B. $\sqrt { m _ { 1 } + m _ { 2 } }$
• C. $\left( m _ { 1 } + m _ { 2 } \right) / 2$
• D. $m _ { 1 } \times m _ { 2 }$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$m _ { 1 } \times m _ { 2 }$

Answer 2

Magnification of a compound microscope is given by $| m | = m _ { o } \times m _ { e }$.
