IF THE LINEAR MAGNIFICATION OF THE OBJECTIVE AND EYEPIECE CONVEX LENSES OF A COMPOUND MICROSCOPE ARE 4 AND 7 RESPECTIVELY. CALCULATE THE ANGULAR MAGNIFICATION OF THE MICROSCOPE
- A. 2
- B. 3
- C. 11
- D. 28 ✓
The answer to the question is: D. 28
The angular magnification of a compound microscope can be calculated using the formula:
Angular Magnification = Magnification of Objective × Magnification of Eyepiece
Given that the magnification of the objective lens (M_o) is 4 and the magnification of the eyepiece (M_e) is 7, we can calculate the angular magnification as follows:
Angular Magnification = 4 × 7 = 28
Therefore, the angular magnification of the microscope is 28.
