Question

A magnifying glass is used to read the newspaper. As it is moved far away from the newspaper

• A. Text becomes blurred and magnification reduces
• B. Text becomes more focussed and magnification reduces
• C. Text becomes more focused and magnification increases
• D. Text becomes blurred and magnification increases

Answer 1

The correct option is A Text becomes blurred and magnification reduces

As the magnifying lens(convex lens) is moved far away from the eye, the image formed is real and inverted and is formed inside the human eye and hence it blurs. Since the object is far away from the mirror, the image formed is diminished and hence magnification reduces.
