Question
What is the difference between Magnification and Magnifying power ?
| Magnification | Magnifying power |
| (i) It is a liner magnificant which is equal to $\frac{h_2}{h_1}$. | It is an angular magnification which is equals to $\frac{\angle \beta}{\angle \alpha}$. |
| (ii) Its value increases with the increase in V. | Its value decreases with the increase in V. |
| (iii) Its value may be between $-\infty$ to $+\infty$. | Its value may be between $\frac{ D }{f}$ and $l+\frac{ D }{f}$. |
| (iv) Under certain condition it is equal to magnifying power. | It is a special condition of magnification when ve = D. |
