Lenses are used in making magnifying glasses. Which one of the following statements is true concerning a magnifying glass?

(A) It produces an inverted image.
(B) It is made from a diverging lens.
(C) It produces a virtual image.
(D) The image distance will be less than the object distance.
(E) The object must be placed outside the focal point of the lens.

Respuesta :

Basically when approaching the object and putting it in front of the lens it will happen that compared to the determined focal length, the optically convex lens will begin to show the enlarged image, that is, it will act as a magnifying glass. This effect will be virtual, vertical and will show the largest object at its actual size.

Therefore the correct answer is C. It producer a virtual image.
