Question
An image formed by a lens is erect. Such an image could be formed by a
Options
the convex lens provided the image is smaller than an object.
the concave lens provided the image is smaller than an object.
the concave lens provided the image is larger than an object.
the concave lens provided the image is of the same size.
Solution
the concave lens provided the image is smaller than an object.
Explanation:
A concave lens provided the image is smaller than an object. The image of an object created by a concave lens is erect, virtual, and diminished.
