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.

A converging lens of focal length 5.0 cm is used as a magnifying glass. The near point of the observer is 25 cm from the eye. If the lens is held close to the eye, find the distance of object from the lens and its angular magnification.

A converging lens of focal length 6.25 cm is used as a magnifying glass. If the near point of the observer is 25 cm from the eye and the lens is held close to the eye, calculate (i) the distance of the object from the lens and (ii) the angular magnification. Find the angular magnification when the final image is formed at infinity.
