Define the magnifying power?
उत्तर
Magnifying power of refracting telescope (M) is defined as the ratio of the angle subtended by the image (β) at the eye to the angle subtended by the distant object at the unaided eye (α).
`M= β/a`
Where
β = Angle subtended by the image at the eye.
α = Angle subtended by the distant object at the unaided eye.

A magnifying glass is a converging lens placed close to the eye. A farsighted person uses spectacles having converging lenses. Compare the functions of a converging lens used as a magnifying glass and as spectacles.
The magnifying power of a simple microscope is given by `1+D/f` , where D is the least distance for clear vision. For farsighted persons, D is greater than the usual. Does it mean that the magnifying power of a simple microscope is greater for a farsighted person as compared to a normal person? Does it mean that a farsighted person can see an insect more clearly under a microscope than a normal person?
Why are the magnification properties of microscopes and telescopes defined in terms of the ratio of angles and not in terms of the ratio of sizes of objects and images?
