Question

The overall magnification of a compound microscope with an objective lens magnification of 5 and an eyepiece magnification of 30 will be

A. 100.
B. 150.
C. 6.
D. 280.

Answer 1

So multiply 30 times 5. 30 x 5 = 150. So your answer is answer choice C. 150 Hope this helped you. :)

Answer 2

In order to calculate the overall magnification of a compound microscope we have to multiply the magnification of an objective lens with the magnification of the eye piece

Given:

Magnification of objective lens = 5

magnification of eyepiece = 30

So magnification of compound microscope = Magnification of objective lens X magnification of eyepiece

magnification of compound microscope = 5 X 30 = 150

Hence answer is 150
