Question

A lens is called a thin lens if its overall thickness is large.

2. A lens may be considered a thin lens when its thickness is very less as compared to the radii of curvature of its surfaces.
3. These are used in microscopes, eyeglasses etc.
4. The lateral displacement is also less in these lenses.

Hence, the statement is false.
