The focal lengths of the objective and the eyepiece of a microscope are 0.50 cm and 2.0 cm, respectively, and their separation adjusted for minimum eyestrain (with the final image at the viewer's far point) is 6.0 cm

The near point of the person using the microscope is 25 cm and the far point is infinity.

(b) If the microscope is focused on a small object, what is its final magnification?


(a) 0.57 cm (b) -100 x
