What would be the magnification power of the objective length in a microscope, if the eyepiece is 10X and the total magnification is 40X?
Correct answer: A. 4X
- A. 4X
- B. 10X
- C. 40X
- D. 400X
Explanation
The total magnification of a microscope is the product of the magnifications of the eyepiece and the objective lens. In this case, you need to find the magnification power of the objective lens. Given that the eyepiece magnification is 10X and the total magnification is 40X, you calculate the objective lens magnification as follows: 40X / 10X = 4X.Other options are incorrect because they either confuse the eyepiece magnification with the objective lens magnification or misunderstand the relationship between total magnification and the magnifications of the individual components of the microscope.
