Question

Which of the following statements is true about the object when seen with a microscope?

1) The object is larger (magnified) as seen with a microscope.
2) The microscope image is the reverse of the object.
3) The object is upside down.
4) The field of vision with the microscope is smaller (you can see less of the object).
5) The microscope reveals much more detail.

Answer 1

The following statements true about the object when seen with a microscope is 1) The object is larger (magnified) as seen with a microscope.

Step-by-step explanation:

The microscope forms an image by using two lenses in succession, the objective lens and the eyepiece. The object is placed slightly farther away from the objective lens than its focal length, producing a larger image. The eyepiece further magnifies this image, making it even larger.

Additionally, the final image remains inverted, meaning that it is upside down compared to the actual object. However, it is worth noting that the field of vision with the microscope is not smaller; it actually allows the viewer to see more detail, revealing much more information about the object being observed. The correct answer is 1) The object is larger (magnified) as seen with a microscope.
