Question 11. The magnifying power of a simple microscope can be increased, if we use eye-piece of
  1.    Higher focal length 
  2.    Smaller focal length 
  3.    Higher diameter 
  4.    Smaller diameter   
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Smaller focal length 
:
B
m=1+D/f.So, smaller the focal length, higher the magnifying power.
Question 12. When the length of a microscope tube increases, its magnifying power                                      [MNR 1986]
  1.    Decreases
  2.    Increases
  3.    Does not change
  4.    May decrease or increase  
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Decreases

A

In compound microscope objective forms real image while eye piece forms virtual image.
Question 13. A man can see clearly up to 3 metres. Prescribe a lens for his spectacles so that he can see clearly up to 12 metres
 
  1.    −34D
  2.    3D
  3.    −14D
  4.    -4 D
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> −14D
:
C
By using f=xyxyf=3×12312=4m. Hence power P=1f=14D
Question 14. A compound microscope is used to enlarge an object kept at a distance 0.03m from it’s objective which consists of several convex lenses in contact and has focal length 0.02m. If a lens of focal length 0.1m is removed from the objective, then by what distance the eye-piece of the microscope must be moved to refocus the image
  1.    2.5 cm 
  2.    6 cm
  3.    15 cm 
  4.    9 cm 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 9 cm 
:
D
If initially the objective (focal length F0) forms the image at distance v0then v0=u0f0u0f0=3×232=6cm
Now as in case of lenses in contact 1F0=1f1+1f2+1f3+.....=1f1+1F0{where1F0=1f2+1f3+...}
So if one of the lens is removed, the focal length of the remaining lens system
1F0=1F01f1=12110F0=2.5cm
This lens will form the image of same object at a distance v0such that v0=u0F0u0F0=3×2.5(32.5)=15cm
So to refocus the image, eye-piece must be moved by the same distance through which the image formed by the objective has shifted i.e. 15 – 6 = 9 cm.
Question 15. A man can see the objects up to a distance of one metre from his eyes. For correcting his eyesight so that he can see an object at infinity, he requires a lens whose power is
 
  1.    +0.5 D
  2.    +1.0 D
  3.    +2.0 D
  4.    –1.0 D
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> –1.0 D
:
D
Hey, like you just learned, for correcting the myopic eye, the concave corrective lens should form the image for an object at infinity at the far point of the defective eye.
Applying sign convention, f = –(far point of myopic eye) = – 100 cm. So power of the lens P=100f=100100=1D
Question 16. For a normal eye, the least distance of distinct vision is  
 
[CPMT 1984]
  1.    0.25 m
  2.    0.50 m  
  3.    25 m  
  4.    Infinite
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 0.25 m
:
A
Remember this is the distance nearer to which a normal eye can't see properly, on average.
Question 17. Magnifying power of a simple microscope is (when final image is formed at D = 25 cm from eye)
[MP PET 1996; BVP 2003]
  1.    Df
  2.    1+Df
  3.    1+fD
  4.    1−Df
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1+Df
:
B
This is the case when image is formed at near point.
Question 18. The diameter of the eye-ball of a normal eye is about 2.5 cm. The power of the eye lens varies from
  1.    2 D to 10 D
  2.    40 D to 32 D
  3.    9 D to 8 D
  4.    44 D to 40 D
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 44 D to 40 D
:
D
An eye sees distant objects with full relaxation so 12.5×1021=1f or
P=1f=125×102=40D
An eye sees an object at 25 cm with strain so 12.5×102125×102=1forP=1f=40+4=44D
Question 19. A person cannot see distinctly at the distance less than one metre. Calculate the power of the lens that he should use to read a book at a distance of 25 cm
[CPMT 1977; MP PET 1985, 88; MP PMT 1990]
  1.    + 3.0 D
  2.    + 0.125 D
  3.    - 3.0  D
  4.    + 4.0 D
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> + 3.0 D
:
A
P=1f=1v1u.
Applying sign convention,
P=1f=1100125=3100=+3D.
Question 20. The focal lengths of the lenses of an astronomical telescope are 50 cm and 5 cm. The length of the telescope when the image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision is 
  1.    45 cm 
  2.    55 cm
  3.    2756cm
  4.    3256cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 3256cm
:
D
The length of the telescope, LD=f0+ue, as the objective forms the image at its focus, as the rays are from infinity, and this image acts as the object for the eyepiece.
Now, using lens formula, and using the fact that the eyepiece forms image at near point, that is v=D(=25cm):
1f=1v1u.
Applying sign convention,1ue=1D1fe.
Or, considering only the modulus, ue=feDfe+D.
Therefore,LD=f0+ue=f0+feDfe+D=50+5×25(5+25)=3256cm.
