Answer:
Objective Lens Magnification = ×100
Explanation:
In a microscope, the ocular (eyepiece) lenses are usually to a magnification of ×10, meaning that it magnifies the image 10 times. While the standard objective lenses have magnifications of ×4, ×10, ×40, and ×100.
In order to work out the total magnification, the individual magnifications of the ocular and objective lenses have to be known, after which a simple multiplication of both magnifications will give the total magnification used.
Total Magnification = (eyepiece lens magnification) × (objective lens magnification)
1000 = 10 × obejcetive lens magnification
Dividing both sides by 10
Objective lens magnification = 1000 ÷ 10 = 10
∴ Objective lens magnification = ×100
