The magnifying power of a simple microscope is maximum when the image is formed at MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The magnifying power of a simple microscope is maximum when the image is formed at
A. 2F
B. Infinity
C. Focus
D. Near point
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
M = 1 + D/f when image at near point (D = 25 cm). For infinity, M = D/f. So max at near point.

Question #1
The core of a transformer is laminated to reduce
A. Flux leakage
B. Eddy current loss
C. Hysteresis loss
D. Copper loss

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Lamination of core increases resistance to circulating eddy currents, reducing eddy current losses (I²R). Hysteresis loss reduced by using soft iron. Copper loss is in windings. Lamination is insulation between layers.

Question #2
Two 60 W bulbs are connected in series across 220 V. Each bulb power becomes (approximately)
A. 15 W
B. 30 W
C. 120 W
D. 60 W

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Each bulb R = 220²/60 ≈ 807 Ω. Series total R=1614 Ω, current = 220/1614 ≈0.136 A. Power per bulb = I²R = (0.136)²×807 ≈ 15 W.

Question #3
Rainbow formation involves:
A. Dispersion and total internal reflection
B. Diffraction
C. Reflection only
D. Refraction only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Rainbow: sunlight enters raindrop (refraction + dispersion), reflects internally (TIR), exits with further refraction. Primary rainbow: one TIR; secondary: two TIRs. Memory tip: 'Rainbow = refraction + dispersion + TIR in water droplets'. Application question testing atmospheric optics, frequently appearing in competitive exams.
