PHY 104 MICROSCOPE Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

The angular magnification of a simple magnifier and a telescope is primarily concerned with:
Options
A The physical size of the image on a screen
B The ratio of the image height to object height
C The apparent size of an object as viewed by the eye
Correct Answer
D The speed of light through the lens
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The text explains angular size as depending on "the angle θ (angular size), subtended by the object at the eye." Angular magnification (M = θ'/θ) quantifies how much larger the angle subtended by the image is compared to the object, directly impacting its apparent size.

Hint

Consider what 'angular size' and 'angular magnification' mean in the context of human vision and perception.
