$A$ compound microscope consists of an objective lens of focal length $2 \ cm$ and an eyepiece of focal length $6.25 \ cm$ separated by a distance of $15 \ cm$. How far from the objective should an object be placed in order to obtain the final image at the least distance of distinct vision $(25 \ cm)$ (in $cm$)?

  • A
    $-2.5$
  • B
    $1.67$
  • C
    $2$
  • D

$A$ simple microscope is used to see an object first in blue light and then in red light. Due to the change from blue to red light, what is the effect on its magnifying power?

The least distance of distinct vision is $25 \, cm$. The magnifying power of a simple microscope with a focal length of $5 \, cm$ is:

The focal length of the objective and eye lens of a microscope are $4 \, cm$ and $8 \, cm$ respectively. If the least distance of distinct vision is $24 \, cm$ and the object distance is $4.5 \, cm$ from the objective lens, then the magnifying power of the microscope will be:
