Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The final magnification of an image is determined by multiplying the ocular lens magnification times the objective lens magnification. Hence, in this example, it is 15 multiplied by 50 = x750.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
For best support when carrying a microscope, one hand should be placed under the base and the other around the arm. This makes dropping and damaging the microscope less likely.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
