To understand why the aperture of the objective lens of a microscope is small while that of a telescope is large, we can break down the explanation into a few key points: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Aperture**: - The aperture of a lens is the diameter of the lens opening through which light enters. A larger aperture allows more light to enter, while a smaller aperture allows less light. 2. **Function of a Microscope**: ...
