Question

A magnifying glass forms

• A. Inverted Image
• B. Real Image
• C. Virtual Image
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Virtual Image

Convex Lens:

1. An optical lens is a transparent device used to disperse a light beam emitted from a peripheral device, using refraction. It is generally made up of two spherical surfaces.
2. When these two surfaces are bent outwards, the optical lens is called a convex lens.
3. In a convex lens, the image formed when the object is at a distance shorter than the focal length is upright, virtual, and larger than the object.

Magnifying Glass:

1. A magnifying glass is a convex lens, used to make objects appear larger than they actually are.
2. While using a magnifying glass, the distance between object and glass is kept shorter than the focal length of the lens. So, the image formed is upright, virtual, and magnified.

Hence, option (C) is correct.
