The distance between the lenses in a compound microscope is 18 cm. the focal length of the objective is 1.5 cm. if the microscope is to provide an angular magnification of -58 when used by a person with a normal near point (25 cm from the eye), what must be the focal length of the eyepiece?

The focal length of the eyepiece is 4.012 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Focal length = 1.5 cm

angular magnification = -58

Distance of image = 18 cm

We need to calculate the focal length of the eyepiece

Using formula of angular magnification

Where,

= distance between the lenses in a compound  microscope

=focal length of eyepiece

=focal length of the object

N = normal point

Put the value into the formula

Hence,  The focal length of the eyepiece is 4.012 cm.

the answer is false. this is because for ice to melt, it requires latent heat of melting. latent heat means heat energy required to change phase without any increase in temperatures. therefore, the ice will take energy from the environment to melt hence atmospheric temperatures will reduce.
