In case of compound microscope which of the following statements is/are correct? 1) The focal length of eye piece is larger than the focal length of the objective 2) The focal length of the eye piece is smaller than the focal length of the objective 3) The image produced in a normal optical microscope is real 4) The image produced in a normal optical microscope is virtual Correct Answer 1 and 4

CONCEPT:

Compound microscope: 

  • A compound microscope is an optical instrument that is used to obtain highly magnified images.
  • It uses a set of two lenses
    1. Eyepiece lens 
    2. Objective lens.
  • Generally, the eyepiece used is of lower power than that of the objective lens.
  • A typical working of the compound microscope is as shown

  • Magnification of a compound microscope (m) is given by the formula

⇒ m = mo × me

Where mo is the magnifying power of the objective lens and me is the magnifying power of the eyepiece.

EXPLANATION:

  • The focal length of the eyepiece lens is larger than the focal length of the objective lens. So statement 1 is correct.
  • When an object is placed between the focus and the lens then the image formed by the convex lens is virtual and enlarged.
  • As the lens used in the microscope is a convex lens. We observe the object which is very small and near to the lens which makes a virtual and magnified image of the object because object is placed between focus and lens. Hence statement 4 is correct.

The human eye is a complex part of the body that is used for seeing. Eyes enable people to perform daily tasks and to learn about the world that surrounds them. Sight, or vision, is a rapidly occurring process that involves continuous interaction between the eye, the nervous system, and the brain. When someone looks at an object, what he really sees is the light reflected from the object. This reflected light passes through the lens and falls on the retina of the eye. Here the light induces nerve impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain and then over other nerves to muscles and glands.
The eye is similar to a television camera. Both the eye and the television camera convert light energy to electrical energy. The eye converts light to nerve impulses that are interpreted by the brain as the sense perception called sight. A television camera converts light to electronic signals that are broadcast and transformed into light images in a television receiver. It is wonderful that human eyes blink an average of once every six seconds. This washes the eye with the salty secretion from the tear or lachrymal glands. Each tear gland is about the size and shape of an almond. These glands are situated behind the upper eyelid at the outer corner of the eye. After passing over the eye, the liquid from the gland is drained into the nose through the tear duct at the inner corner of the eye. The eye is similar to the television camera because both
