Question

Assertion (A): Concave lens is called a diverging lens.

Reason (R): Concave lens always forms virtual and diminished image.

विकल्प

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

• Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

Answer 1

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Explanation:

The assertion is true because a concave lens makes parallel rays diverge. The reason is also true, a concave lens forms a virtual and diminished image. However, this image description does not explain why the lens is called diverging.
