A compound microscope consists of two convex lenses having a focal length of 1.5 cm and 5 cm. When an object is kept at a distance of 1.6 cm from the objective, the final image is virtual and lies at a distance of 25 cm from the eyepiece. Calculate magnifying power of the compound microscope in this setup.

An astronomical telescope has an objective of focal length 200 cm and an eye-piece of focal length 10 cm. An observer adjusts the distance of the eyepiece from the objective to obtain the image of the sun on a screen 40 cm behind the eye-piece. The diameter of the sun’s image is 6.0 cm. Find the diameter of the sun. The average earth-sun distance is 1.5×1011m.
