(i) From the ray diagram, the image formed is real, inverted, and diminished because the object is placed beyond 2F₁ of a convex lens. (ii) The magnification will be –1 when the object is placed at 2F₁, as then the image is formed at 2F₂, real, inverted, and of the same size as the object.

ANSWER: [A] Explanation: Assertion (A) states that magnetic field lines never intersect, which is true. Reason (R) correctly explains this, as intersection would mean two directions of the magnetic field at one point, which is impossible. Hence, both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanatioRead more
ANSWER: [A]

The diagram shows myopia (nearsightedness), where the image forms in front of the retina. This defect occurs when the focal length of the eye lens is too short (III) or the eyeball becomes too long (IV). Hence, the correct option is (d) III and IV.

When a narrow parallel beam of light passes through an optical device and emerges displaced laterally but parallel to itself, the device must be a glass slab. A plane mirror reflects without displacement, a convex lens converges or diverges light, and a prism deviates light angularly. Hence, the corRead more
When a narrow parallel beam of light passes through an optical device and emerges displaced laterally but parallel to itself, the device must be a glass slab. A plane mirror reflects without displacement, a convex lens converges or diverges light, and a prism deviates light angularly. Hence, the correct answer is (c) glass slab, which produces lateral displacement without altering the beam’s direction of propagation.

See lessRenuka was studying a diagram related to a defect of vision and noted down possible causes for it. She wrote the following statements in her notebook. I. The focal length of the eye lens is too long. II. The eye ball becomes too small. III. The focal length of the eye lens is too short. IV. The eye ball becomes too long. Based on the given diagram, choose to the correct option that lists the correct causes of this defect.
The diagram shows myopia (nearsightedness), where the image forms in front of the retina. This defect occurs when the focal length of the eye lens is too short (III) or the eyeball becomes too long (IV). Hence, the correct option is (d) III and IV.
