What would be the resolving power of the objective length in a microscope if the eyepiece is 10X and total magnification is 40X?
Correct answer: A. 4
- A. 4
- B. 10
- C. 40
- D. 400
Explanation
The resolving power can be calculated as; 40/10 = 4. Hence, A is correct option.

About Optics
Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
