A person uses + 1.5 D glasses to have normal vision from 25 cm onwards. He uses a + 20 D lens as a simple microscope to see an object. What is the maximum magnifying power if he uses the microscope without glasses.

  • 8

  • 9

  • 10

  • 11

Solution

B.

9

Let d be the distance of near point of the person without glasses.

Focal length of glasses

      f1100P1

          = 1001.5

         f12003

Now u = - 25 cm

        v = ?

From lens formula

        1v - 1u = 1f1

         1v = 1f1 + 1u

⇒            = 3200 - 125

⇒      1v = - 5200 

 ∴     v = - 2005

       v = - 40 cm

Therefore, the near point of the person is 40 cm.   

Focal length of microscope,

        f2100P2

             = 10020

        f2 = 5 cm

 ∴     M = 1 + df2

         M = 9
