How do you calculate microscope power?
the objective lens has the power of that lens inscribed on it
What happens when you increase the diameter of a telescope?
Specifically if you increase the diameter of the main lens, or of the main mirror (depending on the type of the telescope), you'll be able to observe dimmer objects (stars, planets, etc.). Also, the telescope's resolving power (angular resolution) improves with a bigger mirror/lens. For example, with a bigger mirror/lens you'll be able to distinguish two stars that are closer together as separate objects.
What is the magnifying power of the eyepiece if it has been magnified 100 times under 10 times?
The magnifying power of the eyepiece can be calculated by multiplying the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnification of the objective lens. In this case, if the eyepiece magnifies 10 times and the total magnification is 100 times, the magnifying power of the eyepiece alone is 10 times. Thus, the eyepiece provides a magnification of 10x, while the objective lens contributes the remaining magnification.
What is 3-9X42?
3-9x42 typically refers to a type of rifle scope with a magnification range of 3 to 9 times and a 42mm objective lens diameter. This scope allows users to adjust the magnification for different shooting distances, making it versatile for various hunting or shooting scenarios. The 42mm lens diameter helps gather light, improving visibility in low-light conditions.
Can power of a lens be negative?
Yes, the power of a lens can be negative. A negative lens, often referred to as a concave lens, diverges light rays that pass through it. This type of lens has a focal length that is also negative, indicating that it forms virtual images on the same side as the object. Negative power is typically associated with corrective lenses for myopia (nearsightedness).
Why does a lens with with 2 cm diameter have 4 times the light gathering power of a 1 cm lens?
Because the 2cm lens has 4 times the area of a 1cm lens. (area = Pi*r2)
What does 10-90x60 on binoculars?
The numbers on binoculars typically represent the magnification power (10x) and the diameter of the objective lens in millimeters (60mm). This means the binoculars offer 10 times magnification with a 60mm objective lens diameter.
How do you calculate field diameter?
Field diameter is calculated by measuring the distance across the field of view of a microscope, then dividing that measurement by the magnification of the objective lens being used. This gives you the field diameter in micrometers.
How would you estimate the size of object viewed under high power objective lens 40 times if you were given the size of the field diameter when using low power objective lens 4 times?
You can estimate the size of the object by comparing the field diameters observed under the low power objective lens (4x) and high power objective lens (40x). Calculate the ratio of the field diameters (40x/4x = 10), and use this ratio to estimate the size of the object viewed under the high power objective lens. Simply multiply the size of the object viewed under the low power objective lens by the ratio (field diameter at 4x) to get an estimation.
When looking for a scope what does the 6 mean in 6-24x40mm?
This is a variable power scope- from 6 power to 24 power. The front lens (objective lens) is 40mm in diameter.
What is the meaning of 4x40 in a rifle scope?
It magnifies 4 times, and the objective (front lens) is 40 mm in diameter. A 3x9-40 would be a 3 to 9 power variable magnification scope, with a 40mm objective lens.
How do you calculate the field diameter of the medium power lens?
The equation goes like this and works for both medium AND high feild diameter : Medium(High) DIA. = Low Diameter / [Med(High)mag/low mag] Brackets () are NOT for multiplication, they are for the other formula.
Are light-gathering power and resolving power determined by the primary mirror of a telescope?
Yes, both have to do with the diameter of the objective mirror/lens
How many times will a microscope lens with a power of 40X magnify an object?
A microscope lens with a power of 40X will magnify an object 40 times its actual size.
How many times would a cell be magnified if you viewed it through the low power lens?
Typically, the low power lens magnifies a specimen by 10x. So, if you view a cell through the low power lens, the cell would be magnified 10 times its actual size.
How many times will a microscope lens with a power of 20X magnify an object?
A microscope lens with a power of 20X will magnify an object 20 times its actual size.
What is the magnification power of a 300mm lens?
The magnification power of a 300mm lens is determined by the focal length of the lens. A 300mm lens typically has a magnification power of 3x, meaning it can make objects appear three times larger than they actually are.
