A compound microscope is made with an objective lens (f0 = 0.900 cm) and an eyepiece (fe = 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)

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