(A) large value of magnification
(B) greater value of resolution
(C) large diameter
(D) none of the above

Answer 1

The right answer in the given option is B

Answer 2

Detailed information can be obtained by the oil immersion objective of a microscope because the objective has (A) Large value of magnification.

In oil-immersed objectives of a microscope, a single drop of oil is used on the face of the objective lens to create powerful images which provide greater magnification power than normal objective lenses. This is because of the higher refraction that occurs due to the oil film/drop. When this happens, an individual viewing through the microscope will be able to see a magnified image owing to the wider visibility of the refracted light.
