A convex lens is known as a converging lens. Is there any condition when it does not behave as converging lens?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Nature of Convex Lens:** A convex lens is typically known as a converging lens because it bends light rays that pass through it towards a common focal point. This behavior is due to the lens being made of a denser medium (like glass) surrounded by a rarer medium (like air). 2. **Identifying the Condition:** The question asks if there is a condition under which a convex lens does not behave as a converging lens. Yes, such a condition exists. ...

  • Assertion (A) : A convex lens is called a convergent lens but a concave lens acts as a divergent lens. Reason (R) : A convergent lens is that which always forms a real image of a real object and a divergent lens is that which can never form a real image.

    A
    Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is correct explanation of the assertion.
    B
    Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
    C
    (A) is true but (R) is false.
    D
    (A) is false but (R) is true.
