4. If the eyepiece of a microscope magnifies by 10x, and the objective lens magnifies by 4x, then what is the total magnification of the microscope? A 0.4x B. 2.5x C. 40x D. 14x
Answer (1)
The correct answer is C. 40x.The total magnification of a microscope is found by multiplying the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnification of the objective lens.Here,Eyepiece magnification = 10xObjective lens magnification = 4xTotal magnification = 10 × 4 = 40xThis means the image you see is 40 times larger than the actual size of the object.
