If you use a microscope that has an eyepiece that is 10X and an objective lens that is 40X, what is the magnification?
|
|
100X
|
|
|
4000X
|
|
|
40X
|
|
|
400X
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So, if you are viewing your slide under the 40x objective lens you would multiply that by the 10x of the ocular lens for a total magnification of 400x.
Detailed explanation-2: -In this case, the total magnification of a microscope is equal to the magnification of the objective ocular lens multiplied by the high-power objective lens. Therefore, we multiply the ocular objective lens magnification (10x) with the high power objective lens (50x); hence, the total magnification equals 500x.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer. Answer: For example, if the eyepiece magnification is 10x and the objective lens in use has a magnification of 4x, the total magnification is 10 × 4 = 40.
