Question:

Choose the correct formula for magnifying power of a simple microscope from the following.

Options:

$m=1-\frac{d}{f}$

$m=1+\frac{d}{f}$

$m=1-\frac{f}{d}$

$m=1+\frac{f}{d}$

Correct Answer:

$m=1+\frac{d}{f}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $m=1+\frac{d}{f}$

Magnifying power (m) of microscope,

$m=1+\frac{d}{f}$

where, d = nearest distinct vision distance (= 25 cm)

f = focal length of lens
