What is magnification?
explain the process of magnification
Answers
Magnification is the process of enlarging the apparent size, not physical size, of something. This enlargement is quantified by a calculated number also called "magnification". When this number is less than one, it refers to a reduction in size, sometimes called minification or de-magnification.
Typically, magnification is related to scaling up visuals or images to be able to see more detail, increasing resolution, using microscope, printing techniques, or digital processing. In all cases, the magnification of the image does not change the perspective of the image.

Magnification is defined as the ratio of height of the image to the height of the object. It tells us the amount by which the object is magnified with respect to the object.
Light from an object passes through a biconvex lens and is bent (refracted) towards your eye. It makes it appear to have come from a much bigger object. The eyepiece lens usually magnifies 10x.
