Consider the following statements:
(1) If an object is placed midway between two parallel plane mirrors facing each other, then the number of images that appear in the mirrors is four.
(2) A magnifying glass is made of a converging lens.
(3) To get a virtual and magnified image of an object, convex mirror is used.
Which of the given statements is/are false?
-
Only (1)
-
Only (2)
-
Only (1) and (3)
-
Only (2) and (3)
C
Correct answer
Explanation
(I) Statement (1) is wrong. If an object is placed midway between two parallel plane mirrors facing each other, the number of images that appear in the mirrors is infinity.
(II) Statement (2) is correct. Magnifying glass is made of a converging lens which helps to produce an upright and magnifying image of an object.
(III) Statement (3) is wrong. To get a virtual and magnified image, concave mirror is used.
