Answer the following question: The angle subtended at the eye by an object is equal to the angle subtended at the eye by the virtual image produced by a magnifying glass. In what sense then does a magnifying glass provide angular magnification?

The angular size of the image is equal to the angular size of the object, but still the angular size of image is equal to angular size of the object. The objects placed closer than the least distance of distinct vision (i.e., 25 cm) can be viewed through a magnifying glass. A closer object causes a larger angular size. A magnifying glass provides angular magnification. The object cannot be placed closer to the eye, without magnification. With magnification, the object can be placed much closer to the eye.
