An eye can distinguish between two points of an object if they are separated by more than when the object is placed at from the eye. The object is now seen by a compound microscope having a objective and eyepiece separated by a distance of . The final image is formed at from the eye. What is the minimum separation between two points of the object which can now be distinguished?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
0.04 mm
Option C (0.04 mm) is correct because the minimum separation is found by dividing the eye's resolution by the microscope's magnifying power.
