A compound microscope has an objective and an eyepiece of focal lengths \(f_{o}\) and \(f_{e}\) , respectively. To obtain a large magnification of a small object, the microscope should have:

  1. \({f}_{{o}}\) and \({f}_{{e}}\) small, and \({f}_{{e}} \gt {f}_{{o}}\)
  2. \(f_{o}\) and \(f_{e}\) small, and \(f_{o} \gt f_{e}\)
  3. \({f}_{{o}}\) and \({f}_{{e}}\) large, and \({f}_{{e}} \gt {f}_{{o}}\)
  4. \({f}_{{o}}\) and \({f}_{{e}}\) large, and \({f}_{{o}} \gt {f}_{{e}}\)

Answer

(A) f _ o and f _ e small, and f _ e f _ o
