Question 3
Question
What is meant by the term: Resolution?
Answer
-
How much bigger an image appears when compared with the original object.
-
The magnifying power of the objective lens.
-
The ability to distinguish between 2 points clearly.
-

Question 4
Question
What is the equation for calculating Magnification?
Answer
-
Total magnification = Image size / Magnification.
-
Total magnification = Magnifying power of the objective lens x eyepiece lens.
-
Total magnification = Image size x Magnification.
-
There is no calculation.
