OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS Test

1. This document contains a 14 question test on optical instruments like microscopes and telescopes. 2. Questions ask about the magnifying power of a microscope using different colors of light, whether a microscope can function as a telescope and vice versa, choosing lenses to construct the best telescope and microscope, drawing ray diagrams, deriving expressions for magnifying power, and setting up a compound microscope for a desired magnification. 3. Additional questions cover image formation and properties in telescopes and microscopes, increasing the magnifying power of a telescope, and differences between telescope and microscope construction and working.

by the objective lens? What is the height of the final image of the tower
if it is formed at 25cm?

microscope and telescope.

CASE STUDY: COMPOUND MICROSCOPE. A compound microscope is


an optical instrument used for observing highly magnified images of tiny
objects. Magnifying power of a compound microscope is defined as the
ratio of the angle subtended at the eye by the final image to the angle
subtended at the eye by the object, when both the final image and the
object are situated at the least distance of distinct vision from the eye. It
can be given that : m = me × mo, where me is magnification produced by
eye lens and mo is magnification produced by objective lens. Consider a
compound microscope that consists of an objective lens of focal length 2.0
cm and an eyepiece of focal length 6.25 cm separated by a distance of 15
cm.

11.The object distance for eye-piece, so that final image is formed at the
least distance of distinct vision, will be
(a) 3.45 cm (b) –5 cm (c) –1.29 cm (d) 2.59 cm
12.How far from the objective should an object be placed in order to obtain
the condition described in Q.No. 12. (a) 4.5 cm (b) 2.5 cm (c) 1.5 cm (d)
3.0 cm
13.The intermediate image formed by the objective of a compound
microscope is
(a) real, inverted and magnified (b) real, erect, and magnified (c) virtual,
erect and magnified (d) virtual, inverted and magnified.
14.The magnifying power of a compound microscope increases when
(a) the focal length of objective lens is increased and that of eye lens is
decreased. (b) the focal length of eye lens is increased and that of
objective lens is decreased. (c) focal lengths of both objective and eye-
piece are increased. (d) focal lengths of both objective and eye-piece
are decreased.
