A magnifying glass is used, as the object to be viewed can be brought closer to the eye than the normal near point. This results in.

A

a larger angle to be subtended by the object at the eye and hence viewed in greater detail.

B

the formation of a virtual erect image.

C

increase in the field of view.

D

infinite magnification at the near point.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B
A magnifying glass is used as the object to be viewed can be brought closer to the eye than the normal near point. This results in a larger angle to be subtended by the object at the eye and hence viewed in greater detail. Also, it results in the formation of a virtual, erect image. Choices (a) and (b) are correct.
