Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Matching of Optical Instruments with the Nature of Lens/Mirror Used:

Optical InstrumentNature of Lens/Mirror UsedCorrect Match
(A) Human eye(III) Lens of adjustable focal lengthA → III
(B) Microscope(IV) Objective of small aperture and small focal lengthB → IV
(C) Reflecting telescope(I) Concave mirror of large aperture and large focal lengthC → I
(D) Refracting telescope(II) Objective lens of large aperture and large focal lengthD → II

Final Matches:

  • A → III: The human eye employs a lens with adjustable focal length (the crystalline lens).
  • B → IV: A microscope utilizes an objective lens characterized by a small aperture and small focal length to achieve high magnification.
  • C → I: A reflecting telescope is equipped with a concave mirror of large aperture and large focal length to enhance light-gathering capability.
  • D → II: A refracting telescope incorporates an objective lens with a large aperture and large focal length to improve resolution.
