Question

Jack and Mary view the same microorganism through the same compound microscope. Mary's near point distance, $N_M$, is twice as large as Jack's near point distance, $N_J$. If Mary sees the microorganism with magnification $M_M$, with what magnification does Jack see it? A $M_M/2$ B $2M_M$ C $4M_M$ D $8M_M$ E $M_M/4$

Step 1

We are given that $N_M = 2N_J$. Let $M_J$ be the magnification Jack sees and $M_M$ be the magnification Mary sees. The magnification of a compound microscope is given by $M = \frac{L}{f_o} \times \frac{N}{f_e}$, where $L$ is the tube length, $f_o$ is the focal Show more…
