Difference between resolving power and magnifying power of a lens?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Resolving power refers to the ability of a lens to distinguish between small details or objects that are close together, while magnifying power relates to the ability of a lens to make an object appear larger when viewed through the lens. Resolving power is determined by the lens' ability to minimize blurring and separate closely spaced objects, while magnifying power is determined by the focal length of the lens and its ability to enlarge the image.

I am a Rwandan 'A' Level PCM Student

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

Answer 4

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.
