Question

1. how do you calculate the total magnification of a microscope? multiply the objective lens magnification by the eyepiece lens magnification. add the objective lens magnification to the eyepiece lens magnification. subtract the eyepiece lens magnification from the objective lens magnification. divide the objective lens magnification by the eyepiece lens magnification.

Explanation:

To calculate the total magnification of a microscope, we use the principle that the total magnification is the product of the magnification of the objective lens and the eyepiece lens. This is because the objective lens magnifies the specimen, and then the eyepiece lens further magnifies the image formed by the objective lens. So we multiply the two magnifications.

Answer:

A. Multiply the objective lens magnification by the eyepiece lens magnification.
