Good for what? Telescope? Microscope? "Magnification" is often used as a marketing tool; telescopes for example might come with a maximum magnification that is too big to get a clear image, just so they can claim "100x magnification" or whatever. And it is cheap to get a magnification that is clearly too much. The most important piece of information about a telescope is, how big is the main lens, or the main mirror. A larger diameter here will give you (a) more light-gathering power, allowing you to see fainter stars, and (b) more resolution, roughly equivalent to usefulmagnification.

What is the total magnification if the eyepiece lens has a magnification of 10 times and the objective lens is 10 times?

To quote Wikipedia;"The angular magnification is given by : :: : where Mo is the magnification of the objective and Me the magnification of the eyepiece." So 10x X 20x = 200x


What is the magnification of ocular 5x by objective 10x?

The total magnification of a microscope is found by multiplying the ocular and objective together.

What does Ctrl plus equals key effect?

It increases the magnification of the screen. CTRL plus _ does the reverse.


Is total magnification an eyepiece magnification plus an objective magnification?

The total magnification is the object magnification for example 4x,10x etc. times eyepiece magnification usually 10x and you get the total magnification. The objective lens magnification is the lens right above the slide usually 4x,10x etc.

If a light microscope has an eyepiece lens of magnification x15 what magnification of objective lens would be needed to get a total magnification of x1500?

The total magnification is equal to the magnification of the eyepiece multiplied by the magnification of the objective lens. So in this case the objective lens would need to be 100X.


What is 100 plus 100 plus 90 plus 90 plus 84 plus 57 plus 85 plus 100 plus 100 plus 90 plus 91 plus 100 plus 70 plus 100 plus 95 plus 83 plus 100 divided by 14?

108 remainder 3 :D


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.
