Answer: The objective and ocular lenses are responsible for magnifying the image of the specimen being viewed. So for 10X objective and 10X ocular, Total magnification = 10 X 10 = 100X (this means that the image being viewed will appear to be 100 times its actual size).
Explanation:
The magnification of the ocular lens is 10X.
The total magnification, M = magnification of ocular lens,m × magnification of objective lens, m'
So, M = mm'
Since we require the magnification of the ocular lens, m, making m subject of the formula, we have
m = M/m'
Given that M = total magnification = 500X and m' = magnification of objective lens = 150X
Substituting these values into the equayion, we have
m = M/m'
m = 1500X/150X
m = 10X
So, the magnification of the ocular lens is 10X.
