Document Summary
Magnification is the point at which an object is made to seem bigger than it really is, or, a far off object is made to show up nearer than it truly is. The last option is much of the time achieved utilizing a telescope; adjustable magnification is utilized while concentrating on stars and planets in space. Accordingly, the magnification definition can cover two totally various ideas. Magnification is achieved by using one or more lenses that are convex in nature. As light rays pass through the lens, the parallel light rays bend and converge on the object in focus creating a larger image of the object on the human retina. There are different types of lenses, including simple lenses and compound lenses. An a magnifying glass is an example of a simple lens, since there is only one lens in the glass. These simple lenses can make objects appear up to 6 times larger than they actually are.
