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 a convex lens and is used to view the object closer to an eye than normal near point. A larger angle needs to be subtended by the object at the eye because light rays coming from the image appear to be diverging from a point. Also, the image formed is virtual and erect. The correct options are (a) and (b).
