Answer the following question:
In viewing through a magnifying glass, one usually positions one’s eyes very close to the lens. Does angular magnification change if the eye is moved back?
Yes, the angular magnification changes. The angular magnification decreases a little, when the distance between the eye and a magnifying glass is increased. This is because the angle subtended at the eye is slightly less than the angle subtended at the lens. Image distance does not have any effect on angular magnification.
