Answer:
I. Overall magnification (TM) = x40
II. Overall magnification (TM) = x100
III. Overall magnification (TM) = x400
IV. Overall magnification (TM) = x1000
Explanation:
A microscope can be defined as an optical device that is typically used to make an enlarged (magnified) image of a minute (small) object and as such reveals all the little information about the object that cannot be seen by the natural human eye.
Mathematically, the overall (total) magnification of a microscope is given by the formula;
Overall magnification (TM) = Eyepiece magnification(EM) X Objective magnification (OM).
I. When EM = x10 and OM = x4
TM = EM * OM
TM = x10 * x4
<em>TM = x40</em>
II. When EM = x10 and OM = x10
TM = EM * OM
TM = x10 * x10
<em>TM = x100</em>
III. When EM = x10 and OM = x40
TM = EM * OM
TM = x10 * x40
<em>TM = x400</em>
IV. When EM = x10 and OM = x100
TM = EM * OM
TM = x10 * x100
<em>TM = x1000</em>
