How does the eyepiece affect the total magnifacation in a telescope?

A telescope consists of two lenses. 1) The main lens which collects the light ( it is relatively bigger that eyepiece). 2) Eye piece , through which we see. Magnification of a telescope depends on the focal length of the eye piece and the main lens. Magnification = Focal length of the main lens / Focal length of the eyepiece . For example : If the focal length of the main lens is 12 units and the focal length of the eyepiece is 2 units , then the magnification will be 12/2 = 6.When the focal length of the main lens is constant , the focal length of the eyepiece is inversely proportional to the magnification.

What is the magnification of the eyepiece on a microscope?
To determine the magnification of the eyepiece on a microscope take the total magnification for the microscope and divide it by the total magnification of the objective lens. The answer is what the magnification is for the eyepiece.
What is the total magnification if you view an object using a 40x objective lens and the eyepiece of the microscope is at 5x magnifying power?
The total magnification would be 200x, since the total magnification is the magnification of the objective lens X the magnification of the eyepiece.
What was the total cost of the Hubble Telescope?
1.2 billion
Why can't we see the sun's corona under normal conditions?
The sun's brightness is overwhelming and blocks it out. It can be viewed with a telescope called a Coronagraph or during a total solar eclipse.
How long did it take to build the Hubble Telescope?
It took 20 years to build and launch the hubble telescope, a total of seven years after the proposed launched date in 1983, and even then it was not operational as one of it's main mirrors had been fitted incorectly, and it took another three years for a servicing mission made it fully operational. I have no idea
What is the magnification of the eyepiece on a microscope?
To determine the magnification of the eyepiece on a microscope take the total magnification for the microscope and divide it by the total magnification of the objective lens. The answer is what the magnification is for the eyepiece.
How does the eyepiece affect the total magnifcation?
Eyepieces aren't usually made to refract light like a glasses' lense is, so they don't.
What is the total magnification if you only use the eyepiece?
it's impossible to just use the eyepiece without an objective lens, but the eyepiece alone is 10x.
What is the total magnification of a microscope when the eyepiece lens by the magnification of the the high objective lens?
multiply the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnification of the high objective lens. for example, if the eyepiece magnifies x10, and the high objective magnifies x40, then the total magnification would be 400x
The eyepiece is 10x the objective is 45x Total magnification is?
55x
What is the total magnification if you view an object using a 40x objective lens and the eyepiece of the microscope is at 5x magnifying power?
The total magnification would be 200x, since the total magnification is the magnification of the objective lens X the magnification of the eyepiece.
Is total magnification an eyepiece magnification plus an objective magnification?
The total magnification is the object magnification for example 4x,10x etc. times eyepiece magnification usually 10x and you get the total magnification. The objective lens magnification is the lens right above the slide usually 4x,10x etc.
What are some types of telescopes?
there are two main types, all though there are five in total. the first one is called a refractor telescope, which uses a lense to bend the light into an eyepiece. these tend to fog up in winter time but give accurite pictures. a reflector telescope uses two mirors to reflect the light into the eyepiece. you can make these as big as you want and they dont fog up, but the immage can be distorted if the mirror angle is off by the slightest degree. of the two, i would say that the reflector is better than the refractor.there is a limmit to the size of the refractor.
Powers of the eyepiece multiplied by objective lenses determine total?
magnifications of a microscope
If the total power of magnification is 400x and the eyepiece is 10x what is the objective lens power?
One can obtain a total magnification of 400x while using an objective lens of 40x. Such a lens should be used along an eyepiece of 10x.
How does a scientist figure out the total magnification on a microscope?
Magnification of objective multiplied by magnification of eyepiece. I usually work with 40x and 60x ojectives and 10x eyepiece, so total magnifications of my observations are respectively 400 and 600 times.
How do you calculate magnification of a microscope?
Multiply the magnification of the eyepiece - by the magnification of the object lens. For example - if the eyepiece is labeled 10x, and the object lense is 12x... then the total magnification is 120x
