12th Class Physics Ray Optics Question Bank Assertion And Reason (MCQs) - Ray Optics and Optical Instruments

  • question_answer
    Assertion (A): Convex lens behaves like a simple microscope.
    Reason (R): For larger magnifying power, the focal length of convex lens should be small.

    A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

    B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

    C) A is true but R is false

    D) A is false and R is True

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Option [a] is correct.
    Explanation: Convex lens behaves like a simple microscope. The assertion is true.
    The magnifying power of a convex lens is expressed as:
    For least distance of distinct vision, \[m=1+\frac{\operatorname{D}}{f}\]
    For relaxed eye, m = D/f
    Since ƒ is in the denominator, for larger magnifying power, focal length should be small. So, the reason is also correct and it is the assertion.
