Magnifying Glass or Simple Microscope
Magnifying Glass or Simple Microscope: Overview
This topic explores the concept of magnification of image using a glass which impacts the formation of the image of an object. It also mentions conditions on which magnification depends on the nature of an object.
Important Questions on Magnifying Glass or Simple Microscope
The image of a distant tree is formed on a screen which is kept at a distance of from a convex lens. Find the focal length of the lens.

Explain auxillary plane method to calculate focal length of a convex lens.

In an experiment a convex lens of focal length 15cm is placed coaxially on an optical bench in front of a convex mirror at a distance of 5cm from it. It is found that an object and its image coincide, if the object is placed at a distance of 20cm from the lens. The focal length of the convex mirror is:

Which of these is not an application of a simple microscope?

Why simple microscope is used in forensic examination?

How does a simple microscope depend on the focal length of the lens used?

What will be the focal length of a convex lens, which produces a virtual image at a distance of of an object placed in front of it.

List the uses of a simple microscope.

An object is placed at a distance from a simple microscope of focal length . The angular magnification obtained depends
