Q145 / 180 · AIIMS 2011 · Physics

Assertion : Microscope magnifies the image. Reason : Angular magnification for image is more than object in microscope.

  • Correct answer
    A
    If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  • B
    If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  • C
    If assertion is true but reason is false.
  • D
    If both assertion and reason are false.

Solution

Microscope is an optical instrument which forms a magnified image of a small nearby object and thus, increases the visual angle subtended by the image at the eye so that the object is seen to be bigger and distinct. Therefore angular magnification for image is more than object.

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