उत्तर
The magnifying power of a simple microscope is defined as the ratio of the angle subtended by the image at the eye to the angle subtended by the object at the eye if it is assumed to be placed at the least distance of distinct vision.
Shorter the focal length of the lens used, larger is its magnifying power.
