Question 1.
What is the formula for calculating magnification?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how you determine larger images from the actual size of objects.
Question 2.
Why is it important to record observations through a microscope?
Show hintHide hint
Consider why scientists share their research.
3Question 3.
What is the magnification if the image size is 200 micrometers and the actual size is 10 micrometers?
- 20x
- 15x
- 30x
Show hintHide hint
Remember the formula: Magnification = Image Size / Actual Size.
4Question 4.
True or False: Recording observations helps in remembering what you saw in the experiment.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about the importance of data in science.
Question 5.
You view a sample of plant cells, which appear 250 micrometers wide under the microscope. If their actual width is 5 micrometers, calculate the magnification. Explain the importance of this observation in studying plant cells.
