Data Source and Methodology
Tutti i calcoli si basano rigorosamente sulle formule e sui dati forniti da fonti autorevoli nel campo dell'ottica.
The Formula Explained
\( M = \frac{f_o}{f_e} \)
Glossary of Terms
- Focal Length of Objective: The distance over which parallel rays are brought to a focus.
- Focal Length of Eyepiece: The distance from the center of the lens to the focal point.
- Magnification: The factor by which the image is enlarged.
Example Calculation
Suppose you have an objective lens focal length of 100mm and an eyepiece focal length of 10mm. The magnification would be calculated as follows:
\( M = \frac{100}{10} = 10x \)
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is magnification?
Magnification is the process of enlarging the appearance, not physical size, of something.
Why is the focal length important?
The focal length determines how much the image is enlarged and how wide the field of view is.
