Question

The bright spot obtained on the paper when the sun’s rays are concentrated on it by using a magnifying glass is ____.

  1. A real and inverted image of the sun itself
  2. A virtual and upright image of the sun itself
  3. A spot where random light rays are focused
  4. None of these

Hint:

The convex magnifying glass concentrates the rays from the sun and focuses it on paper as a bright spot that is a highly diminished, real and inverted image of the sun.

The correct answer is: A real and inverted image of the sun itself


    The bright spot obtained on the paper when the sun’s rays are concentrated on it by using a magnifying glass is a real and inverted image of the sun itself.
    • The magnifying glass used for magnification is a convex lens which is curved in wards.
    • The image formed by a convex lens is real and inverted.
    • The convex magnifying glass concentrates the rays from the sun.
    • When it is focused on paper as a sharp, bright spot, a real and inverted image of the sun is obtained on a paper.
