Question : A concave lens forms an image which is:
Option 1: real and erect
Option 2: virtual and erect
Option 3: real and inverted
Option 4: virtual and inverted
Correct Answer: virtual and erect
Solution : The correct option is virtual and erect .
A concave lens produces a virtual, upright, and diminished image. This is because the rays of light diverge after passing through the lens. When extended backwards, these divergent rays seem to meet at a point behind the lens, determining the location of the virtual image. This image maintains the same orientation as the original object and is smaller.
