Question

The magnification of a concave lens is always

• A. equal to one
• B. less than one
• C. greater than one
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve the problem, we need to understand the behavior of a concave lens.

1. Magnification of a Concave Lens:
A concave lens always forms: - A virtual image, - An upright image, - A diminished image (smaller than the object).

2. Conclusion:
The magnification of a concave lens is always less than one because the image formed is smaller than the object.

Final Answer:
The magnification of a concave lens is always $ {\text{less than one}} $.
