state the meaning of magnifying power, revolving power ,working distance
Answers
Explanation:
Magnifying power is how much larger a given lens can make an image appear. This is a direct relationship between the focal length of the lens and the least distance of distinct vision, or LDDV. The LDDV is the closest your eyes can comfortably look at an object.
Objective
Which magnifying glass is the most powerful?
Materials
Magnifying glasses of different sizes or powers
Wall
Flashlight
Meter stick
Stuff to magnify!
Procedure
For each magnifying glass, stand close to a wall and shine the flashlight through each magnifying glass onto the wall.
Move the flashlight closer to or farther away from the wall until the light refracts to a single point.
Measure the distance from the lens to the wall to get a reading (in centimeters) to find the focal length. It can be handy to have a friend help you here.
Create a table to manage your data.
Now, choose a small object. Bring the object as close to your eyes as you can before it becomes blurry and out of focus.
Measure and record this distance. This is the Least Distance of Distinct Vision, or LDDV.
Calculate the magnifying power of each magnifying lens. Use the following formula.
Focal Length Equation
Where Mp is Magnifying power, LDDV is the least distance of distinct vision you found in step 7, and Lf is the focal length of the lens.
Test it out! Do your observations match up with each calculated magnifying power? Take a look at how the same object looks under different magnifying glasses to compare.
Results
The distance of distinct vision is usually somewhere around 10 cm for a person with perfect vision. Magnifying lenses with shorter focal lengths will have greater magnifying power.
Why?
Magnifying power is inversely related to the focal length of a lens: the bigger the focal length, the lower the magnifying power. The LDDV is a constant number, as it usually tends to be the same for people with good vision. Focal length and LDDV have to be measured in the same units for the calculations to work out—they’re usually measured in meters (or centimeters).
Another feature of lenses is called lens power, very similar to magnifying power, and is expressed in the following relationship:
Lens Power Equation
The units of focal length Lf are meters. Lens power is therefore measured in 1/m, also called diopters
resolving Power
The resolving power of an objective lens is measured by its ability to differentiate two lines or points in an object. The greater the resolving power, the smaller the minimum distance between two lines or points that can still be distinguished. The larger the N.A., the higher the resolving power.

The distance between the front edge of the objective lens and the specimen surface (with the surface of the cover glass in case of the cover glass objective lens) when the specimen is focused.
