The magnifying power of a lens is the ratio of the angle subtended by the image by using instruments to the angle subtended by the object at unaided eye while the resolving power is how a lens can make a clear vision of image separately

Resolving power is how clear or sharp little. It is the ability to produce images sharp enough to distinguish two faraway objects that appear to be side-by-side.

Magnifying power is how big you can get an image. More Magnification more will be the light spreads out from the image and as a result distortion will increases. So by increasing the Magnification, resolution will be poor and image will be dimmer and less information will be gain.

Magnification refers to the number of times an original object can be made big. On the other hand, resolving power is the distance or clarity with which different structures can be distinguished from each other.

Explain the relationship between the resolving power of the microscope and the wavelength of the light being used?

Resolving power of microscope is inversely related to the wavelength of the light used. So shorter the wavelength, greater the resolving power.


Does resolving power increase with magnification?

If magnification increases ONLY, then resolving power does not increase. However, if the magnification increased while staying in focus (upgrading resolution and magnification with objective lense), shorter wavelengths are needed to stay in focus with increased magnification to yield the same high resolution as with previous objective lense, so this case, resolving power does increase.


What is the greatest difference in magnifying power between?

What is the difference between dispersive and resolving power of diffraction grating?

The ability of an optical instrument expressed in numerical measure to resolve the image of two nearby points is termed as resolving power. The dispersive power of a diffraction grating is defined as the rate of change of the angle of diffraction with the wavelength of lite. S M SOHEL RANA IU
