| Question 9 |
______ can produce a virtual image larger than the object
| Concave lens | |
| Concave mirror | |
| Convex mirror
| |
| Plane mirror
|
Question 9 Explanation:
A converging lens (one that is thicker in the middle than at the edges) or a concave mirror is also capable of producing a virtual image if the object is within the focal length. Such an image will be magnified. In contrast, an object placed in front of a converging lens or concave mirror at a position beyond the focal length produces a real image. Such an image may be magnified or reduced depending on the position of the object.
