NEET Physics Question - Ray Optics - Refraction by Spherical Surfaces

Assertion (A): In a magnifying glass, the angle subtended by an object at the eye is equal to the angle subtended by its virtual image at the eye. Still the magnifying glass provides angular magnification.

Reason (R): Magnifying glass produce a virtual magnified image of the object.

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

(2) Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(3) (A) is true but (R) is false

(4) Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Assertion (A) is false. Angular magnification occurs precisely because the virtual image subtends a larger angle at the eye than the object alone. Reason (R) is true; a magnifying glass (convex lens) forms a virtual, upright, and magnified image.
