The correct Answer is:
To obtain an enlarged image of an object using the provided optical devices, we can analyze the properties of each device: 1. **Understanding the Devices**: - **Concave Mirror**: A concave mirror can produce an enlarged image when the object is placed between the focal point and the mirror. - **Convex Mirror**: A convex mirror always produces a diminished (smaller) image, regardless of the object's position. - **Concave Lens**: A concave lens always produces a diminished image. - **Convex Lens**: A convex lens can produce an enlarged image when the object is placed between the focal point and the lens. 2. **Identifying Suitable Devices**: - From the above understanding, we can conclude that: - The **concave mirror** can produce an enlarged image. - The **convex lens** can also produce an enlarged image. - The **convex mirror** and **concave lens** cannot produce an enlarged image. 3. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, to obtain an enlarged image of an object, you can use either the **concave mirror** or the **convex lens**. ### Final Answer: You can use either the concave mirror or the convex lens to obtain an enlarged image of an object.
