Question

Which of the following statements are true :

1) A convex lens always gives a real image.
2) A concave lens always gives virtual image.
3) A convex lens can also gives magnified virtual image.

• A. (1) and (2)
• B. (1) and (3)
• C. (1), (2) and (3)
• D. (2) and (3)

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

(2) and (3)

A convex lens may from a virtual image but most of the time it gives real image.

A concave lens always forms virtual image because in it emergent rays are diverged.

A convex lens gives magnified virtual image when object is placed between F and lens.
