The document discusses the structure and working of compound microscopes. It includes diagrams of lenses and ray diagrams showing image formation. Characteristics of images like virtual, inverted and magnified are described. Different arrangements of objective lens, eyepiece lens and their distances that can be used to build a simple compound microscope are discussed in a table.

STRUCTURE 1. Diagram 1 shows two lenses, P and Q which used in a compound microscope. The focal length of P is 10 cm and Q is 50 cm.
Diagram 1 (a) What type of lens used in Diagram 1 Convex lens ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… [1 mark] (b) Draw a ray diagram using lens P and Q to show the final image formed by a bacteria placed at 15 cm from the lens P of the compound microscope. Use a scale of 10 cm to 1 cm.
[3 marks] (c) State the characteristics of the final image. .Virtual, Inverted and Magnified ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. [3 marks]
2. The lens in Diagram 2 is used as magnifying glass.

Produce large image/ magnify image …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. [1 mark]
(b) (i) On Diagram 2 , draw a ray diagram to show how the image of the object is formed.
[3 marks]
(ii) State two others characteristics of the image formed in 1 (b) (i) Virtual 1. …………………………………………………………….. Upright 2. ……………………………………………………………..
[ 2 marks] (c) A compound microscope contains an objective lens and an eyepiece lens. The focal length of the objective lens is fo and the eyepiece lens is fe . Table 1 shows three different distances between the two lenses. Arrangement Object distance, uo from Distance between Distance between the the objective lens objective lens and image formed by the eyepiece lens, L objective lens and the eyepiece lens, ui P Uo < fo L < (fo + fe) Ui > fe Q Uo = fo L = (fo + fe) Ui = fe R fo < Uo < 2fo L > (fo + fe) Ui < fe Table 1
Based on Table 1, state the suitable arrangement in order to build a simple com[ound microscope. Give one reason for the suitable arrangement.
(d) Based on answer in 1 (c) , choose the most suitable arrangement for a simple compound microscope. R ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. [1 mark]
