Question

an image of an animal cell was taken using a microscope with a 10× eyepiece lens and a 40× objective lens. (i) The total magnification of the animal cell is (1) A ×50 B ×140 C ×400 D ×4000

Answer 1

To calculate the total magnification of the animal cell, you need to multiply the magnification of the eyepiece lens (10×) by the magnification of the objective lens (40×):

Total Magnification = Eyepiece Magnification × Objective Magnification
Total Magnification = 10× × 40×

Now, calculate the total magnification:

Total Magnification = 10 × 40 = 400×

So, the total magnification of the animal cell is 400×, which corresponds to option C: ×400.
