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…

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.

if its mmage on the fim is to be in focus. What is the magnification? (b) An extension tube is added between the lens and the camera body so that the lens can be positioned 100 mm from film. How close can the object be now? What is the magnification? 5. The focal length of a diverging lens is negative. If ƒ= −20 cm for a particular diverging lens, where will the image be formed of an object located 50 cm to the left of the lens on the optical axis? What is the magnification of the image? 6. The equation connecting s, p, and ffor a simple lens can be employed for spherical mirrors, too. A concave mirror with a focal length of 8 cm forms an image of a small object placed 10 cm in front of the mirror. Where will this image be located? 17. If the mirror described in the previous problem is used to form an image of the same object now located 16 cm in front of the mirror, what would the new image position be? Assuming that the magnification equations developed for

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?
