Solution

The correct option is C

Virtual Image


Convex Lens:

  1. An optical lens is a transparent device used to disperse a light beam emitted from a peripheral device, using refraction. It is generally made up of two spherical surfaces.
  2. When these two surfaces are bent outwards, the optical lens is called a convex lens.
  3. In a convex lens, the image formed when the object is at a distance shorter than the focal length is upright, virtual, and larger than the object.

Magnifying Glass:

  1. A magnifying glass is a convex lens, used to make objects appear larger than they actually are.
  2. While using a magnifying glass, the distance between object and glass is kept shorter than the focal length of the lens. So, the image formed is upright, virtual, and magnified.
