A plano-convex lens is made of a material of refractive index . When a small object is placed 30 cm away in front of the curved surface of the lens, an image of double the size of the object is produced. Due to reflection from the convex surface of the lens, another faint image is observed at a distance of 10 cm away from the lens. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) true?

Answer: (A),(D)

Solution

Reflection: the curved surface acts as a convex mirror with cm and a virtual image at cm: cm, so cm; (B) is false. The image of a convex mirror is erect but virtual, so (C) is false. Refraction: a
