Question
What is the difference between Magnification and Magnifying power ?

Answer

MagnificationMagnifying 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.

An electron with speed $v_0 << c$ moves in a circle of radius $r_0$ in a uniform magnetic field. This electron is able to traverse a circular path as magnetic field is perpendicular to the velocity of the electron. A force acts on the particle perpendicular to both $\vec{\text{v}}_0$ and $\vec{\text{B}},$ This force continuously deflects the particle sideways without changing its speed and the particle will move along a circle perpendicular to the field. The time required for one revolution of the electron is $T_0$.

When light of sufficiently high frequency is incident on a metallic surface, electrons are emitted from the metallic surface. $TI1$ is phenomenon is called photoelectric emission. Kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons depends on the wavelength of incident tight and is independent of the intensity of light. Number of emitted photoelectrons depends on intensity. $(\text{h}\upsilon-\phi)$ is the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons $($where $\phi$ is the work function of metallic surface$)$. Reverse effect of photo emission produces $X-$ ray. $X-$ ray is not deflected by electric and magnetic fields. Wavelength of a continuous $X-$ ray depends on potential difference across the tube. Wavelength of characteristic $X-$ ray depends on the atomic number.
