A turnips sits before a thin coverging lens,outside the focal point of the lens.Teh lens is filled with a transparent gel so that it is flexible by,by squeezing its ends towards its center [as indicated in figure(a)],you can change the curvature of its front and rear sides

When you squeeze the lens,the lateral height of image.

A

moves towards the lens

B

moves away from the lens

C

shifts up

D

remains as it is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
On squeezing the lens, the focal length of lense decreases.
