If the ocular lens has a power of 4X and the objective you are using has a power of 10X, what is your power of magnification?

- D.
  
  The magnification is 100X
Correct Answer
A. The magnification is 40X

Explanation
The power of magnification is calculated by multiplying the power of the ocular lens by the power of the objective lens. In this case, the ocular lens has a power of 4X and the objective lens has a power of 10X. Therefore, the power of magnification is 4X multiplied by 10X, which equals 40X.

- C.
  
  It moves away from you.
- D.
  
  It moves toward you.

When looking through a microscope, the image appears inverted and reversed. So, when the slide is pushed to the left, the image of the "e" moves to the right in the microscope.

If you push the slide away from you, which way does the letter 'e' in the microscope move?
- A.
  
  It moves to the right.
- B.
  
  It moves to the left.
- C.
  
  It moves away from you.
- D.
  
  It moves toward you.
Correct Answer
D. It moves toward you.

Explanation
When you push the slide away from you, the letter 'e' in the microscope appears to move toward you. This is because the microscope magnifies and flips the image, making it appear as if the letter is moving in the opposite direction of your movement. So, even though you are pushing the slide away, the letter 'e' seems to move closer to you.
