Question 11
A virtual image larger than the object can be produced by a
(i) concave lens
(ii) concave mirror
(iii) convex mirror
(iv) plane mirror

Open in App

Solution

In a concave mirror, when an object is placed in between focus and pole, a virtual image is formed. The size of the image will be larger as compared to that of the object.

A convex lens can also form a larger virtual image when an object is placed in between focus and pole.

But out of the given options, the answer is option (ii) which is a concave mirror.
