The magnification power of a compound microscope is given in terms of the magnification of the objective $m_0$ and the magnification power of the eyepiece $m_E$. The total magnification is:

  • A
    $m_0 / m_E$
  • B
    $m_0 \times m_E$
  • C
    $m_0 + m_E$
  • D
    $m_0 - m_E$

In a compound microscope,the focal length of the objective lens is $1.2 \, cm$ and the focal length of the eyepiece is $3.0 \, cm$. When the object is kept at $1.25 \, cm$ in front of the objective,the final image is formed at infinity. The magnifying power of the compound microscope is:

For a compound microscope,the focal lengths of the objective lens and the eye lens are ${f_o}$ and ${f_e}$ respectively. The microscope provides magnification when:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: For a simple microscope,the angular size of the object equals the angular size of the image.
Reason $R$: Magnification is achieved as the small object can be kept much closer to the eye than $25\, cm$ and hence it subtends a large angle.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
