The image formed by a concave lens, for any position of a real object, has which combination of properties?
AReal, inverted and magnified
BReal, erect and same size
CVirtual, erect and smaller
DVirtual, inverted and larger
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Virtual, erect and smaller
1. A concave lens always diverges rays, so it cannot form a real image of a real object.
2. For every object position the image is virtual, erect and diminished.
3. Hence the correct combination is virtual, erect and smaller.
