Question

Assertion (A): A convex lens always forms real images.

Reason (R): A convex lens converges the parallel rays to a point.

Options

• 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

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

Explanation:

The assertion is false because a convex lens forms a virtual image when the object is placed between the lens and its principal focus. The reason is true because parallel rays converge at the principal focus of a convex lens.
