A geneticist looks through a microscope to determine the phenotype of a fruit fly. The microscope is set to an overall magnifica

tion of 400x with an objective lens that has a focal length of 0.60 cm. The distance between the eyepiece and objective lenses is 16 cm.
1) Find the focal length of the eyepiece lens assuming a near point of 25 cm (the closest an object can be and still be seen in focus). Do not neglect any values in your calculation. (Express your answer to two significant figures.)

Answer:

f_{e} = 1.7 cm

Explanation:

The magnification of the compound microscope is given by the product of the magnification of each lens

        M = M₀ m_{e}

        M = - L/f₀  25/f_{e}

Where f₀ and f_{e} are the focal lengths of the lens and eyepiece, respectively, all values ​​in centimeters

In this exercise they give us the magnification (M = 400X), the focal length of the lens (f₀ = 0.6 cm), the distance of the tube (L = 16 cm), let's look for the focal length of the eyepiece (f_{e})

         f_{e} = - L / f₀ 25 / M

Let's calculate

        f_{e} = - 16 / 0.6 25 / (-400)

        f_{e} = 1.67 cm

The minus sign in the magnification is because the image is inverted.

          f_{e} = 1.7 cm

Explanation:

(a) The given figure is a convex lens.

(b) In this figure, the object is placed between F and optical center of a lens. Convex lens is a converging lens. It converges the beam of light falling on it after reflection. The image is formed on the same side of the lens as the object.

The formed image is enlarged and it is virtual and erect.

(i) Type : virtual

(ii) Orientation : upright

(iii) Size : Enlarged
