A : A virtual image cannot be produced on screen.
R : The light energy does not meet at the point(s) where virtual image is formed.

Options

A. If both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (1).
B. If both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (2).
C. If Assertion is true statement but Reason is false, then mark (3).
D. If both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark (4).

Answer

To solve the assertion-reason question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided.

### Step 1: Understand the Assertion
The assertion states: "A virtual image cannot be produced on screen."

- A virtual image is formed when light rays diverge and appear to come from a point behind the mirror or lens.
- Since the light rays do not actually converge at the location of the virtual image, it cannot be projected onto a screen.

### Step 2: Understand the Reason
The reason states: "The light energy does not meet at the point(s) where the virtual image is formed."

- This is true because, in the case of a virtual image, the light rays appear to originate from a point, but they do not actually converge there.
- For example, in the case of a concave lens, the light rays diverge, and the virtual image appears to be formed at a location from which the rays seem to be coming, but they do not actually meet.

### Step 3: Conclusion
Both the assertion and the reason are correct. The reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion. Therefore, the correct answer is that both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

### Final Answer
Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
