Question

Which of the following statements are true?
[A] When the object is placed nearer to the focal point of a converging lens the image gets bigger.
[B] When the object is placed farther away from the converging lens, the image gets smaller.
[C] When the object is placed very far away from the converging lens, the image distance approaches focal length.
(a) A and B only
(b) B and C only
(c) A and C only
(d) A, B and C

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (c) A and C only

Explanation:

If one knows how the image is formed with a converging lens then this is self explanatory.

When the object is placed nearer to the focal point of a converging lens the image gets bigger

When the object is placed very far away from the converging lens, the image distance approaches focal length

Hope this helps.
