Pcornea = + 40 D
Pe = + 20 D
Total power of combination = 40 + 20 = 60 D
Focal length of combination = 1 × 100 = 5 cm 60 3
For minimum converging state of eye lens, u = -∞ V = ? f = 5 3
From lens formula, = 1 = 1 - 1 ⇒ v = 5 cm f v u 3
Distance between retina and cornea-eye lens = 5 = 1.67 m 3 Correct Option: B

Magnifying power of microscope
= LD ∝ 1 fef0 f0
Hence with increase f0 magnifyig power of microscope decreases.
Magnifying power of telescope = f0 ∝ f0 fe
Hence with increase f0 magnifying power of telescope increases.Correct Option: D

Given: Focal length of objective, f0 = 40cm
Focal length of eye – piece fe = 4 cm
image distance, v0 = 200 cm
Using lens formula for objective lens 1 - 1 = 1 ⇒ 1 = 1 - 1 v0 u0 ƒ0 v0 ƒ0 u0 ⇒ 1 = 1 + 1 = + 5 - 1 v0 40 - 200 200
⇒v0 = 50 cm
Tube length ℓ = |v0| + fe = 50 + 4 = 54 cm.Correct Option: D
