$A$ compound microscope is used to enlarge an object kept at a distance $0.03\,m$ from its objective,which consists of several convex lenses in contact and has a focal length of $0.02\,m$. If a lens of focal length $0.1\,m$ is removed from the objective,then by what distance must the eyepiece of the microscope be moved to refocus the image? (in $cm$)

  • A
    $2.5$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $15$
  • D
    $9$

Answer the following questions:
$(a)$ The angle subtended at the eye by an object is equal to the angle subtended at the eye by the virtual image produced by a magnifying glass. In what sense then does a magnifying glass provide angular magnification?
$(b)$ In viewing through a magnifying glass,one usually positions one's eyes very close to the lens. Does angular magnification change if the eye is moved back?
$(c)$ Magnifying power of a simple microscope is inversely proportional to the focal length of the lens. What then stops us from using a convex lens of smaller and smaller focal length and achieving greater and greater magnifying power?
$(d)$ Why must both the objective and the eyepiece of a compound microscope have short focal lengths?
$(e)$ When viewing through a compound microscope,our eyes should be positioned not on the eyepiece but a short distance away from it for best viewing. Why? How much should be that short distance between the eye and eyepiece?
