Question
"In microscope and telescope the value of resolving power should be enough alongwith high magnifying power." Comment on this statement.
✓
Answer
When magnifying power is high the object will be seen large, but due to less resolving power the structure of the body will not be seen clear. Hence in microscope and telescope the value of resolving power should be enough alongwith high magnifying power.
