What are some ways of measuring magnification?
Can you give me an example of using the formula for angular magnification?
Sure! Let's say you are looking through a microscope with a magnification of 40x. If an object is 1 mm tall and is being viewed through the microscope from a distance of 25 mm, the angle subtended by the object at the eye would be 2.42 degrees (angle = [1/25] x 57.3). The angle subtended by the image of the object at the eye would be 96.87 degrees (angle = [40 x 1]/25 x 57.3). So, the angular magnification would be 40.
