ANGLES subtended by the image and the object at the eye when both are at the least distance of distinct vision from the eye.\(Magnifying\;power = \frac{{Angle\;subtended\;by\;the\;image\;at\;the\;least\;distance\;of\;distant\;vision}}{{Angle\;subtended\;by\;the\;object\;at\;the\;least\;distance\;of\;distant\;vision}}\)∴ \(m = \frac{\beta }{\alpha }\)The magnifying power of the compound microscope is \(m = \;\frac{L}{{{u_o}}}\left( {1 + \frac{D}{{{f_e}}}} \right)\)Or, \(m=\ \frac{L}{{{f}_{o}}}\left( 1+\frac{D}{{{f}_{E}}} \right)\Rightarrow m={{m}_{0}}\times {{m}_{e}}\)Wherevo = image distance from the objective lens,uo = object distance from the objective lens,D = least distance of distinct vision from the eye,fe = focal length of the eyepieceL is the distance between the two tubes. mo = magnification power of the eyepiece (L/f0)me = magnification power of the eyepiece \(\left( {1 + \frac{D}{{{f_e}}}} \right)\)Calculation:Given that,fe = 10 cmmo =L/f0 =4D = 25 cmThe magnifying power of the compound microscope is \(m =m_0\left( {1 + \frac{D}{{{f_e}}}} \right)\)\(\therefore m=4\times (1+\frac{25}{10})=14\)Hence option 2 is correct among all
