| Dec 13, 2016 at 17:39 | comment | added | Crescent Tethys | Thanks. What the actual thing is that the image V and object O both do subtend equal angle at the optical centre of lens. But the image V and object O don't subtend equal angle at eye: hence, the magnification. I was thinking in wrong terms that image and object subtend equal angle at eye-this is wrong. Thanks again. @Floris | |

| Dec 13, 2016 at 16:47 | comment | added | Crescent Tethys | oh yes, let me include some more details. the magnification seen in lens is actually the magnification seen by the eye aided by lens. and the distance of object and eye is kept fixed: when there is no lens and when there is lens. Now the 'angle subtended' is the angle subtended by object and image at the optical centre of lens. [now the basis of asking this question arises that when i am studying the simple microscope, the case when image is at infinity-we consider angular magnification and for case when image is at not at infinty, we consider linear magnification. Why 2 different cases?] | |
| Dec 13, 2016 at 16:34 | comment | added | Floris | Perhaps I don't understand your question. When you say "how we see magnification in lens" are you asking about an eye aided by an external lens? | |
| Dec 13, 2016 at 16:30 | comment | added | Crescent Tethys | then, as shown in question, the object and image, both subtend equal angles in case of lens. so why we see a magnified image? | |
