Question

Which of the following would you prefer to use while reading small letters found in a dictionary?

• A. A concave mirror
  
• B. A convex lens
  
• C. A convex mirror
  
• D. A concave lens
  

Answer 1

The correct option is B A convex lens


We cannot look through a mirror as one of its surfaces is polished. So, we must use a lens for reading small letters in a dictionary.
We know that a convex lens is commonly known as a magnifying glass. This is because the image formed by a convex lens is bigger in size for a nearby object.
Whereas, the image formed by a concave lens is always virtual, erect and diminished.
Therefore, we should use a convex lens for reading small letters found in a dictionary.
