    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? - ProProfs

    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?

    • The magnification is 40X

    • The magnification is 400X

    • The magnification is 20X

    • 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.

    If you push the slide away from you, which way does the letter 'e' in the microscope move?  - ProProfs

    If you push the slide away from you, which way does the letter 'e' in the microscope move? 

    • It moves away from you.

    • It moves toward you.

    • It moves to the right.

    • It moves to the left.

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

    If you are looking at the "e" through the microscope and you push your slide to the left, which way does the e in the microscope move?  - ProProfs

    If you are looking at the "e" through the microscope and you push your slide to the left, which way does the e in the microscope move? 

    • It moves to the right.

    • It moves to the left.

    • It moves away from you.

    • It moves toward you.

    Correct Answer
    A. It moves to the right.
    Explanation
    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.
