A student studying the similarities and differences between a camera and the human eye makes the following observations:
I Both the eye and the camera have convex lenses.
IIIn order to focus, the eye lens expands or contracts while the camera lens moves forward or backward.
III The camera lens produces upside down real images while the eye lens produces only upright real images.
IV A screen in camera is equivalent to the retina in the eyes.
V A camera adjusts the amount of light entering in it by adjusting the aperture of the lens. In the eye the cornea controls the amount of light. The correct statements are :

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:
EASY
A convex lens of focal length 12.5 cm is used as a simple microscope. When the image is formed at infinite, Magnification is _________  (Near point for the normal vision is 25 cm).
EASY

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:
