Ray Optics
Optics is the study of light in the field of physics. It refers to the study and properties of light. Optical phenomena can be classified into three categories: ray optics, wave optics, and quantum optics. Geometrical optics, also known as ray optics, is…
Converging Lens
Converging lens, also known as a convex lens, is thinner at the upper and lower edges and thicker at the center. The edges are curved outwards. This lens can converge a beam of parallel rays of light that is coming from outside and focus it on a point on…
Plano-Convex Lens
To understand the topic well we will first break down the name of the topic, ‘Plano Convex lens’ into three separate words and look at them individually.
Lateral Magnification
In very simple terms, the same object can be viewed in enlarged versions of itself, which we call magnification. To rephrase, magnification is the ability to enlarge the image of an object without physically altering its dimensions and structure. This pr…

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Concave mirrors are those type of mirrors in with the ray converges when it falls on them.

When the object is located at a greater distance from the focal length, this mirror can be used to converge the light and produce a real image on the surface. Therefore the mirror forms a magnified image. A concave mirror is also known as converging mirror and the image formed is real and virtual.

Conclusion:

The correct answer is C.
