Ncert solutions for Class 11th Biology Lab Manual Chapter 1 Exercise 1 Question 1

Answer 1

the magnification power=1500+40000
=41500

Answer 2

Magnification power is 600X

Explanation:

• Microscope is the instrument which is used to visualize the tiny object in enlarge size for study the  internal mechanism of the object.
• Magnification is the capability or amount of visual enlargement of observed object.
• Total magnification is measured by the multiples of  power of eye piece and the power of  objective lens. such as  15X and 40X indicating that the object  is enlarged 15 times and 40 times.
• Formula is  X = eye piece power X objective lens power.
• X= 15 * 40=600X
