Compound Microscope Quiz

In a compound microscope, which lens has a higher power compared to the other?

• The eyepiece has higher power than the objective lens.

• Both lenses have equal power.

• The objective lens has higher power than the eyepiece.

• Power is not a factor in a compound microscope.

Where should the object be placed in a compound microscope to achieve a real and magnified image?

• Between the optical center and F

• At the focal point F

• Between F and 2F of the objective lens

• Beyond 2F of the eyepiece

What type of image is produced by the eyepiece in a compound microscope?

• Real, upright, and magnified

• Virtual, upright, and reduced

• Virtual, inverted, and magnified

• Real, inverted, and reduced

How does the distance between the lenses in a compound microscope compare to the sum of their focal lengths?

• It is greater than the sum of their focal lengths.

• It is not related to their focal lengths.

• It is equal to the sum of their focal lengths.

• It is less than the sum of their focal lengths.

What is the formula for calculating the magnification in a compound microscope?

• M = M_objective - M_eyepiece

• M = M_objective / M_eyepiece

• M = M_objective + M_eyepiece

• M = M_objective * M_eyepiece
