Explanation Introduction: Magnification is the process of magnifying the images apparently. A microscope anda telescope are the instruments which can be used for the purpose of Magnification. A microscope is an instrument which enlarges the images of small objects while a telescope makes the faraway objects seem clear. In other words, a microscope apparently magnifies the image of the object while telescope is an angle magnifier. A microscope has on objective lens and an eye piece. The objective lens magnifies the image of the object...

Ray Optics

Optics is the study of light in the field of physics. It refers to the study and properties of light. Optical phenomena can be classified into three categories: ray optics, wave optics, and quantum optics. Geometrical optics, also known as ray optics, is…

Converging Lens

Converging lens, also known as a convex lens, is thinner at the upper and lower edges and thicker at the center. The edges are curved outwards. This lens can converge a beam of parallel rays of light that is coming from outside and focus it on a point on…

Plano-Convex Lens

To understand the topic well we will first break down the name of the topic, ‘Plano Convex lens’ into three separate words and look at them individually.

Lateral Magnification

In very simple terms, the same object can be viewed in enlarged versions of itself, which we call magnification. To rephrase, magnification is the ability to enlarge the image of an object without physically altering its dimensions and structure. This pr…

Students have asked these similar questions

Find an equation for the length L of a refracting telescope in terms of the focal length of the objective fo and the magnification m. (b) A knob adjusts the eyepiece forward and backward. Suppose the telescope is in focus with an eyepiece giving a magnification of 50.0. By what distance must the eyepiece be adjusted when the eyepiece is replaced, with a resulting magnification of 1.00 x 10 2? Must the eyepiece be adjusted backward or forward? Assume the objective lens has a focal length of 2.00 m.

A refracting telescope has an angular magnification of -83.00. The length of the barrel is 1.500 m. What are the focal lengths of (a) the objective and (b) the eyepiece?

A small telescope has a concave mirror with a 2.6 m radius of curvature for its objective. Its eyepiece is a 3.4 cm focal length lens. Part (b) What angle (in degrees) is subtended by a 25,000 km diameter sunspot? Assume the sun is 1.50 × 108 km away. Part (c) What is the image angular size (in degrees) in this telescope?
