Question

1. fill in the table below with the correct magnifications for each lens, then calculate the total magnification.

ocular lens magnification
objective lens magnification
high power lens:
low power lens:
scanning lens:
total magnification

Explanation:

Step1: Recall microscope magnification formula

The total magnification of a microscope is the product of the magnification of the ocular lens and the objective lens, i.e., $Total\ Magnification = Ocular\ Lens\ Magnification\times Objective\ Lens\ Magnification$.
Let's assume the ocular lens magnification is commonly 10x.
If the scanning lens (objective) has a magnification of 4x, then the total magnification is $10\times4 = 40$x.
If the low - power lens (objective) has a magnification of 10x, then the total magnification is $10\times10=100$x.
If the high - power lens (objective) has a magnification of 40x, then the total magnification is $10\times40 = 400$x.

Answer:

Ocular Lens Magnification	Objective Lens Magnification	Total Magnification
10x	Low Power Lens: 10x	100x
10x	High Power Lens: 40x	400x
