the objective lens has the power of that lens inscribed on it
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.
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.
20 refers to the amplification, 70 mm to the diameter of the main lens or mirror. Note: This diameter is by far the most important piece of information.
The prismatic effect at a given distance from the optical center of a lens can be calculated using the formula ( P = D \times d ), where ( P ) is the prism diopter effect, ( D ) is the lens power in diopters, and ( d ) is the distance in centimeters from the optical center. For a +5.00 diopter lens at 4mm (0.4cm) from the optical center, the prismatic effect would be ( P = 5.00 \times 0.4 = 2.00 ) prism diopters. Thus, there would be a prismatic effect of 2.00 prism diopters at that distance.
Because the 2cm lens has 4 times the area of a 1cm lens. (area = Pi*r2)
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.
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.
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.
This is a variable power scope- from 6 power to 24 power. The front lens (objective lens) is 40mm in diameter.
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.
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.
Yes, both have to do with the diameter of the objective mirror/lens
A microscope lens with a power of 40X will magnify an object 40 times its actual size.
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.
A microscope lens with a power of 20X will magnify an object 20 times its actual size.
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.
