Text Appearing After Image: Fig.431. power of a lens 396 IMAGE FORMATION The less the focal length of the lens, the nearer to it may theobject be placed, and therefore the greater the visual angle,or magnifying power. The ratio of the two angles PcQ and j^cq is approximately25/f, where / is the focal length of the lens expressed incentimeters. Now the magnifying poiver of a lens or microscojyeis defined as the ratio of the angle actually subtended by the imagewhen viewed through the instrument, to the angle subterided by theobject tvhen viewed with the unaided eye at a distance of 25 centi-meters. Therefore the magnifying power of a simple lens is25/f. Thus, if a lens has a focal length of 2.5 centimeters, itproduces a magnification of 10 diameters when the object isplaced at its principal focus. If the lens has a focal lengthof 1 centimeter, its magnifying power is 25, etc. 457. Magnifying power of an astronomical telescope. In the astronom-ical telescope the objective, or forward lens, forms at its principal f
