Match the column:
Column-I | Column-II |
(i) Convex mirror, virtual object | [A] Real image |
(ii) Concave mirror, virtual object | [B] Virtual image |
(iii) Concave lens, real object | [C] Magnified image |
(iv) Convex lens, real object | [D] Diminished image |
Correct Matrix Matching
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Explanation:
To match Column-I with Column-II, let's analyze each entry one by one:
(i) Convex mirror, virtual object - [B] Virtual image
(ii) Concave mirror, virtual object - [A] Real image
(iii) Concave lens, real object - [B] Virtual image
(iv) Convex lens, real object - [D] Diminished image
Therefore, the answer is: [B] Virtual image for (i).
To match Column-I with Column-II, let's analyze each entry one by one:
- (i) Convex mirror, virtual object:
A convex mirror always forms a virtual image regardless of whether the object is real or virtual. Therefore, it does not produce a real image – it produces a virtual image. Thus, this matches with [B] Virtual image. - (ii) Concave mirror, virtual object:
A concave mirror can produce either a real or a virtual image depending on the position of the object. However, when the object is virtual (placed between the focal point and the mirror), the image formed is real (as if the virtual object is a real one). Therefore, it corresponds to [A] Real image. - (iii) Concave lens, real object:
A concave lens always forms a virtual image, and when a real object is placed in front of it, the image produced is reduced in size but virtual. [B] Virtual image. - (iv) Convex lens, real object:
A convex lens can form a real image, which can either be diminished or magnified depending on the distance of the object from the lens. If the object is placed beyond the focal point, the image is diminished. Thus, it corresponds to [D] Diminished image.
(i) Convex mirror, virtual object - [B] Virtual image
(ii) Concave mirror, virtual object - [A] Real image
(iii) Concave lens, real object - [B] Virtual image
(iv) Convex lens, real object - [D] Diminished image
Therefore, the answer is: [B] Virtual image for (i).
