If magnification increases ONLY, then resolving power does not increase.

However, if the magnification increased while staying in focus (upgrading resolution and magnification with objective lense), shorter wavelengths are needed to stay in focus with increased magnification to yield the same high resolution as with previous objective lense, so this case, resolving power does increase.

Magnifying power is how big you can get an image. Resolving power is how clear or sharp little things will be at that magnification.

Magnification is the ratio of an objects image to its real size. Resolving power is a measure of image clarity.

Does the diameter of a telescope control its magnification?

No, you can change the magnification of the telescope by simply changing the eyepiece. The two most important powers of the telescope, light-gathering power and resolving power, depend on the diameter of the telescope, but it does not control the magnification.


What is the magnification power and resolving power?

Magnification is the size of the image of an object as compared to the true size of the object.Resolving power is the ability of an imaging device to separate (i.e., to see as distinct) points of an object that are located at a small angular distance.


How can you enhance the resolving power of microscope?

What is the difference between Magnification and resolving power?

magnification:-magnification is increase in the size of an object resolution:-resolution is power of a microscope to distinguish between two objects.Higher the resolution easier it will be to see between the two pints


Difference between resolving power and magnifying power of a lens?

I am a Rwandan 'A' Level PCM Student The magnifying power of a lens is the ratio of the angle subtended by the image by using instruments to the angle subtended by the object at unaided eye while the resolving power is how a lens can make a clear vision of image separately I am called Fuddle B.


What is the resolving power of a 25Cm telescope?

Resolving power is measured in arc seconds. The formula to find this is as follows: arc seconds (x) = 11.6/(D) 11.6 is part of the formula D- is the diameter of the telescope (which you have = 25cm) Therefore the resolving power should be: 11.6/25 = .46 arc seconds
