    Which lens on the microscope is changed when the magnificatin is changed?

    • Contact lens

    • Objective lens

    • Super lens

    • Eyepiece lens

    Correct Answer
    A. Objective lens
    Explanation
    The objective lens is the lens on the microscope that is changed when the magnification is adjusted. This lens is responsible for gathering light and magnifying the specimen, allowing for a detailed view. By adjusting the objective lens, the magnification can be increased or decreased, providing different levels of detail and clarity in the image.

    Work out the magnification for the objects when the eyepiece is x 10 and the objective is:a x20b x40

    • A 20 b 40

    • A 200 b 400

    • A 400 b 200

    • A 30 b 50

    Correct Answer
    A. A 200 b 400
    Explanation
    The magnification of a microscope is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnification of the objective lens. In this case, the eyepiece has a magnification of x10 and the objective lens has a magnification of x20 for option a and x40 for option b. Therefore, the magnification for option a is 10 x 20 = 200 and the magnification for option b is 10 x 40 = 400.

    What does magnification mean?

    • To reduce something in appearance

    • To enlarge something physically

    • To make something bigger in size physically

    • To enlarge something in appearance but not physically

    Correct Answer
    A. To enlarge something in appearance but not physically
    Explanation
    Magnification refers to the process of making something appear larger than its actual size. It does not involve any physical enlargement of the object itself. This can be achieved through the use of lenses or other optical devices that make the object appear closer or more detailed. Magnification is commonly used in microscopy, photography, and binoculars, where it allows for a closer and more detailed view of objects that are otherwise too small to see clearly.

  • 5. 

    Which one of these is not a part of a microscope?

    • Objective lens

    • Stage

    • Handle

    • Mirror

    Correct Answer
    A. Handle
    Explanation
    The handle is not a part of a microscope. A microscope typically consists of an objective lens, stage, and mirror. The objective lens is responsible for magnifying the specimen, the stage holds the specimen in place, and the mirror reflects light to illuminate the specimen. The handle, on the other hand, is not essential to the functioning of a microscope and is not typically found on all microscope models.
