If the ocular lens has a magnifying power of 5X, and the low power objective lens is being used, what is the total magnification of the microscope?


Sagot :

Answer:

1. low power magnification- 50X

2. High power magnification- 250X

Explanation:

Magnification of a microscope is the ability of the instrument to magnify the objects.  The magnification of a microscope can be calculated by multiplying the power of the objective lens with an ocular or eyepiece lens.

Magnification= Objective lens power x Eyepiece lens power

In the given question,  

1. Low magnifying power will be- 50X

Since the objective lens is of 10X and the ocular lens is of 5x

 Therefore, Magnification- 10X x 5X= 50X

2. High magnifying power will be- 250X

Since the objective lens is of 50x and ocular lens is of 5x

Therefore, Magnification=  50X x 5X= 250X
