EASY
What is the magnifying power of a simple microscope of focal length 5 cm, if the image is formed at the distance of distinct vision?
EASY
If we need a magnification of 375 from a compound microscope of tube length 150mm and an objective of focal length 5mm, the focal length of the eye-piece, should be close to:
MEDIUM
In a compound microscope, the magnified virtual image is formed at a distance of 25 cm from the eye-piece. The focal length of its objective lens is 1 cm. If the magnification is 100 and the tube length of the microscope is 20 cm, then the focal length of the eye-piece lens (in cm) is ______
EASY

Given below are two statements : one is labeled as Assertion A and the other is labeled as Reason R.

Assertion A: For a simple microscope, the angular size of the object equals the angular size of the image.

Reason R: Magnification is achieved as the small object can be kept much closer to the eye than 25 cm and hence it subtends a large angle. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

MEDIUM

The focal lengths of objective lens and eye lens of a Galilean Telescope are respectively 30 cm and 3.0 cm. Telescope produces virtual, erect image of an object situated far away from it at least distance of distinct vision from the eye lens. In this condition the Magnifying Power of the Galilean Telescope should be :

EASY
There are four lenses L1,L2,L3 and L4 of focal lengths, 2,4,6 and 8 cm respectively Two of these lenses form a telescope of length 10 cm and magnifying power 4. The objective and eye lenses are

A telescope has an objective lens of focal length 150 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 5 cm. If a 50 m tall tower at a distance of 1 km is observed through this telescope in a normal setting, the angle formed by the image of the tower is θ, then θ is close to
HARD
A astronomical telescope has objective and eyepiece of focal lengths 40 cm and 4 cm respectively. To view an object 200 cm away from the objective, the lenses must be separated by a distance:
