Question

To see the virtual image of an object formed in the lens, the object and the observer should be:

• A. on the same side of the lens
• B. on the different sides of the lens
• C. position of the observer does not matter
• D. can’t be said

Answer 1

The correct option is B

on the different sides of the lens

Lenses are made up of glass, which is a transparent material and hence light is able to pass through it. So a virtual image can be seen only if the observer is on the other side of the lens with respect to the object.
