Question

In a compound microscope the intermediate image is:
(A) real, inverted and magnified
(B) real, erect and magnified
(C) virtual, erect and magnified
(D) virtual, erect and reduced

Answer 1

A Real image is a collection of focus points actually made by converging rays. It occurs where rays converge. It also can be produced by concave mirrors and converging lenses, only if the object is placed further away from the mirror or lens than the focal point, and thus the real image is inverted.

Complete answer:
In a compound microscope, the intermediate image is formed only by the effect of an objective lens, which is a convex length. Hence, the behavior will be similar to that produced by a double convey length.The parts of a microscope work together in hospitals and in forensic labs, for scientists and students, bacteriologists and biologists so that they may view bacteria, plant and animal cells and tissues and various microorganism the world over. A converging lens is a lens that converges rays of light that are travelling parallel to its principle axis.
Now, with a compound microscope you place the object just away from the focus, and hence, the lens forms a real, inverted and magnified image.

So, the correct answer is “Option A”.

Note:
The compound microscope consists essentially of two or more double convex lenses, fixed in two extremities of a hollow of under. The lower lens or nearest to object is called as the objective the upper lens (nearest to the eye of the observer, the eye place.
