a) 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 angle subtended at the eye by an object is equal to the angle subtended at the eye by the virtual image produced by a simple microscope. In what sense, does a simple microscope produce angular magnification?

A : 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 so the magnification produced is one. R : During image formation through magnifying glass, the object as well as its image are at the same position.

Why should a simple magnifying glass be placed closer to the eye ?
