How does magn...

Question

How does magnifing power get affected on increasing the aperture of the objective lens and why in case of a refracting type telescope???

Open in App

Solution

M = fo / fe
on increasing aperture although magnifying power DOES NOT change but you get a brighter image by using that diffraction formula.
