The angular magnification of a system is less than one. Does it mean that the image formed is inverted?
Answers
If the value of angular magnification is less than one it doesn't mean that the image is inverted beacuse angular magnification is the ratio of the angle subtended by the final image on the eye to angle subtended by the initial object. It's less than one value shows the reduction of size of the image it does not mean that the image is inverted.
The angular magnification of a system is less than one. No, it doesn't mean that the image formed is inverted.
Explanation:
No, Angular magnification is the ratio of the angle subtended on the eye by the final image to the angle subtended on the eye by the object.
Its value of less than one means the size of the image is reduced. It doesn't mean reversing the image.
Angular magnification :
An angle ratio subtended at the eye by the image created by an optical instrument to which the eye subtends the object when not viewed through the instrument.
