Question

A telescope resolves whereas a microscope magnifies. Justify the statement.

Answer 1

obviously a telescope does not magnify it just brings the object closer than its real position but a microscope magnify the size of object and image is seen clear

Answer 2

A telescope resolves whereas a microscope magnifies:

Telescopes and microscopes are two  optical instruments used to look at magnified images of objects.

Both types of instruments could use an objective lens, which produces an image of the object.

An eyepiece is then used to look at a magnified version of the image

The main difference between telescope and microscope is that microscopes are used to magnify small objects that are at a short distance from the viewer whereas telescopes are used to magnify large objects that are at a large distance from the viewer.

Reason :

A Telescope has the ability to differentiate two very closely situated points of light. Where as a microscopes just magnifies the picture that means shows an enlarged portion of an object.

So telescope brings the object closer
