Assertion In refraction from a plane surface, if object is virtual, then its image will be real.
Reason Plane surface always makes opposite natured image. If object is real, then image is virtual and vice-versa.

A

(a) If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

B

(b) If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not correct explanation of Assertion.

C

(c) If Assertion is true but Reason is false.

D

(d) If Assertion is false but Reason is true.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "In refraction from a plane surface, if the object is virtual, then its image will be real." - A virtual object is one that cannot be projected on a screen; it appears to be located behind the optical device (like a mirror or lens). - In the case of a plane surface, when light rays pass through it, they bend according to Snell's law. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states that "A plane surface always makes opposite natured images. If the object is real, then the image is virtual and vice versa." - This means that if we have a real object (one that can be projected), the image formed will be virtual (it cannot be projected on a screen). - Conversely, if we have a virtual object, the image formed will be real (it can be projected). ### Step 3: Analyze the Relationship Now, let's analyze the relationship between the assertion and the reason: - When a virtual object is placed in front of a plane surface, the light rays diverge as they pass through the surface. - The extended rays appear to converge at a point on the opposite side of the surface, forming a real image. - Conversely, if a real object is placed in front of a plane surface, the rays converge at a point on the same side, forming a virtual image. ### Step 4: Conclusion Since both the assertion and the reason are correct and the reason correctly explains the assertion, we can conclude that: - The assertion is true: If the object is virtual, then its image will be real. - The reason is also true: A plane surface always makes opposite natured images. Thus, the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and the reason are correct, and the reason explains the assertion. ---

Assertion: In case of single refraction by a plane surface image and object are on same side. Reason: If object is real, image will be virtual and vice-versa.

Assertion In front of a concave mirror, a point object is placed between focus and centre of curvature. If a glass slab is placed between object and mirror, then image from mirror may become virtual. Reason Glass slab always makes a virtual image of a real object.

Assertion : Focal length of a convex mirror is 20 cm. If a real object is placed at distance 20 cm from the mirror, its virtual erect and diminished image will be formed. Reason : If a virtual object is placed at 20 cm distance, its image is formed at infintiy.

Nature of image of a real object formed by convex mirror is always

Assertion : If magnification of real object is -2. Then, it is definitely a concave mirror. Reason : Only concave mirror can make real images of real objects.
