A compound microscope is made with an objective lens (f₀ = 0.900 cm) and an eyepiece (f_e = 1.10 cm). The lenses are separated by a distance of 10.0 cm. What is the angular magnification? (Assume the near point is 25.0 cm.) A) −253 B) −450 C) −770 D) −980 E) −635

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The angular magnification (M) of a compound microscope is given by the formula M = (L - f₀) / f₀ * (25 / fₑ), where L is the distance between the lenses. Substituting the given values: M = (10 - 0.9) / 0.9 * (25 / 1.1) = 9.1 / 0.9 * 22.727 ≈ -253.
