A 20 D lens is used as a magnifier. Where should the object be placed to obtain maximum angular magnification? (Given, D=25 cm).
A. 4.17 cm
B. 4.7 cm
C. 4.07 cm
D. None of these
A. 4.17 cm
B. 4.7 cm
C. 4.07 cm
D. None of these
Correct Answer – A
Focal length of the lens,
`f=(1)/(20)m=(100)/(20)cm = 5 cm`
Maximum angular magnification is obtained when final image is formed at D. Hence,
`(1)/(-25)-(1)/(-u_(o))=(1)/(5)rArr u_(o)=4.17 cm`
