What is polygamy? Explain please:)

I always thought that 'polygamy' refers to the social system in which a man
may have more than one wife, and I thought there's some other word for
where a woman is married to more than one man. 

But when I went to look it up just now to answer your question, (which by the
way you could also have done very easily), I found a definition that says it's a
"state of marriage between many spouses".  That doesn't specify genders, so
I guess it means any marriage that involves more than two people, no matter
how the genders may be represented or distributed within it.

Polygamy is the marriage that includes two or more partners, like a husband with four wives.<span />

The objective lens of a microscope has a focal length of 5.5mm. Part A What eyepiece focal length will give the microscope an ov
son4ous [18]

Complete Question

The distance between the objective and eyepiece lenses in a microscope is 19 cm . The objective lens has a focal length of 5.5 mm .

What eyepiece focal length will give the microscope an overall angular magnification of 300?

Answer:

The  eyepiece focal length is  f_e  = 0.027 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The focal length is  f_o =  5.5 \ mm =  -0.0055 \ m

This negative sign shows the the microscope is diverging light

     The  angular magnification is m = 300

     The  distance between the objective and the eyepieces lenses is  Z =  19 \ cm  = 0.19 \ m

Generally the magnification is mathematically represented as

        m  =  [\frac{Z - f_e }{f_e}] [\frac{0.25}{f_0} ]

Where f_e is the eyepiece focal length of the microscope

  Now  making f_e the subject  of the formula

         f_e  = \frac{Z}{1 - [\frac{M  *  f_o }{0.25}] }

substituting values

        f_e  = \frac{ 0.19 }{1 - [\frac{300  *  -0.0055 }{0.25}] }

         f_e  = 0.027 \ m
