Question

In a compound microscope the intermediate image is :

• A. Real, inverted and magnified
• B. Virtual, erect and magnified
• C. Virtual, erect and reduced
• D. Real, erect and magnified

Answer 1

The correct option is A Real, inverted and magnified

in a compound microscope, there are two lenses. There is an intermediate image between the first and the second.The distance between the first and the second lens is adjusted in such a way that the intermediate image is always real, inverted and magnified. This magnified real and inverted image is further magnified by another lens making a highly enlarged virtual image of the intermediate image.
