Q46 / 116 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Ray Optics

A convex lens of focal length 10 cm and image formed by it, is at least distance of distinct vision then the magnifying power is

  • Correct answer
    A
    3.5
  • B
    2.5
  • C
    1.5
  • D
    1.4

Solution

The coverging lens used for magnification is called simple microscope or a magnifier.

When image is formed at D, the least distance of distinct vision, then magnifying power

M=1+Df

Given, D = 25 cm, f = 10 cm

∴M=1+2510=1+2.5=3.5

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
