A compound microscope is an instrument that consists of two lenses L1 and L2. The lens L1 called objective forms a real, inverted and magnified image of the given object. This serves as the object for the second lens L2; the eyepiece. The eyepiece functions as a simple microscope or magnifier. It produces the final image, which is inverted with respect to the original object, enlarged and virtual.

What is the value and sign of (according to the new Cartesian sign convention) magnification of the image formed by L2?

  1. Value = Less than 1 and Sign = Positive
  2. Value = More than 1 and Sign = Positive
  3. Value = Less than 1 and Sign = Negative
  4. Value = More than 1 and Sign = Negative

Answer

Value = More than 1 and Sign = Negative

Reason — The image formed is magnified and inverted, hence the magnification is more than one and with negative sign.
