A larger lens produces a brighter image than a smaller lens with the same

focal length does.

Another contributor added:

A larger lens also gathers more light than a smaller lens does, enabling the viewer

to see dimmer objects that they would be able to see with a smaller diameter lens,

or the naked eye. The human eye reveals the light of stars down to 5th magnitude.

A 2 1/2" lens reveals the light of stars down to 8th magnitude, and so on.

To which the first contributor noted:

It does all of that by producing a brighter image than a smaller lens

with the same focal length does.

When a lens is placed over a text it makes the print smaller this happens because?

When a lens is placed over a text, it makes the print smaller because the lens is acting as a magnifying glass, which causes the image to appear closer and therefore smaller to the eye. This is a result of the lens bending and refracting light rays, changing the way the text is viewed.


What force a lever uses to lift a load is?

A lever uses mechanical advantage to lift a load. This is achieved by applying a smaller force over a greater distance to move a larger force over a shorter distance.


When using the wheel and axle the input force moves through a greater distance than the output force?

In a wheel and axle system, the input force applied over a larger distance rotates the wheel, which has a larger radius than the axle. This causes the axle, where the output force is exerted, to rotate over a smaller distance but with increased force due to the principle of mechanical advantage.


Why does the field of view decreases as magnification increases?

As magnification increases, the same area of the sample is spread over a larger space within the microscope, resulting in a narrower field of view. This is because the higher magnification lens has a smaller exit pupil which limits the amount of light that reaches the eye. Therefore, the field of view appears smaller when using higher magnification.


Why does smaller object have more density than bigger object?

Smaller objects tend to have more density than larger objects because their mass is concentrated in a smaller volume, making their particles more tightly packed together. In contrast, larger objects have their mass distributed over a larger volume, leading to lower density.

What is the advantage to a rear high wheel lawn mower?

The larger wheels roll much easier over rough terrain. Smaller wheels can get swallowed by small divots and bumps where a larger diameter wheel will roll over the smaller divot's without dropping down in.


Why do larger companies have have an advantage over smaller companies?

Because the larger companies are more trusted, known and respected. For example: If you needed a driver/software update, would you go to Apple, Microsoft or a smaller company on a street corner called Jeffreys?

If I divide a smaller number by a larger number will this indicate the percentage that the larger number is over the smaller number?

No, that will indicate the percentage the smaller number is of the larger number.


What is An advantage of a compound light microscope over a single lens microscope?

A compound light microscope is able to provide more clarity and detail than a single lens microscope, which is its advantage. Compound refers to the microscope having more than one lens.


Was nature started to favor smaller organisms?

Nature does not inherently favor smaller organisms over larger ones. The size advantage of organisms depends on their specific environmental conditions, such as resource availability, competition, and predation pressures. In some situations, being smaller may be advantageous, while in others, larger organisms may have the upper hand.


How do you take a larger number from a smaller number?

add a tenth of the larger number to the smaller number so the smaller number is actually the larger number or you could refare to 6 over 4 in pi over 56 = x square 2 pi But no-one understands that
