Question

How is the overall angular magnification (M) of a compound microscope determined?
Options
A By the sum of the lateral magnification of the objective and the eyepiece magnification.
B By the ratio of the eyepiece magnification to the lateral magnification of the objective.
C By the product of the lateral magnification of the objective lens and the eyepiece magnification.
Correct Answer
D By the focal length of the objective lens divided by the focal length of the eyepiece.
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The text states: 'The overall angular magnification of the compound microscope is the product of two factors: 1. Lateral magnification of the objective lens, m₁. 2. Eyepiece magnification m₂. Therefore, overall magnification M = m₁ m₂.'

Hint

Look for the formula provided for the overall magnification of a compound microscope.
