Question

Starting with a real object, which of the following statements are true about the image formed by a single lens? (Choose ALL correct answers, e.g., enter AB.) A converging lens can never produce a virtual, upright, reduced image. If a lens produces a real image, it is on the same side of the lens as the object. A diverging lens can produce a virtual, upright, enlarged image. A diverging lens can produce a real, inverted, reduced image. A converging lens cannot produce a real, inverted, reduced image. A converging lens can produce a virtual, upright, enlarged image. Suggestion: Sketch ray diagrams to show what happens in the various situations.

Explanation / Answer

For converging lens, if we place the object after the focal point then image will be formed always opposite side of the lens. This image is real, inverted and reduced or enlarged in size.

So B is wrong.

The converging lens can produce a virtual upright image when the object is placed between the lens center and focus point. This image is enlarged. So it never produce upright and reduced size image.

So A is correct.

virtual image will never be enlarged in size and diverging lens will never create inverted image. so C and D are also wrong.

As per the first statement, F is also wrong.

Ans: A and E
