Physics 205B Quiz 2, spring semester 2017
Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo, CA
A Leitz Ortholux microscope[*] (–47× magnification) has an eyepiece lens with a focal length of +1.8 cm, and a 17.0 cm distance between the objective and eyepiece. If the +1.8 cm focal length eyepiece lens was instead used by itself as a simple magnifier, its angular magnification would be:
(A) +1.9×.
(B) +14×.
(C) +23×.
(D) +45×.

Correct answer (highlight to unhide): (B)
The angular magnification of a converging lens, used as a simple magnifier (and a relaxed eye) is given by:
M = N/f,
where N is the nominal near point of 25 cm. Thus the angular magnification is:
M = N/f = (0.25 m)/(+1.8 cm) = +13.888888889×,
or to two significant figures, +14×.
(Response (A) is solving for di if the (real) image created by this converging lens is at do = +25 cm; response (C) is N – feyepiece; and response (D) is N·feyepiece.)
