Question: 116

11. Which of the following are able to produce a virtual image?

I. Convex lens

II. Concave lens

III. Plane mirror

  • A. I only
  • B. III only
  • C. II and III only
  • D. I, II, and III

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

All images produced by plane mirrors will be virtual, so statement III is true. The same goes for diverging species (convex mirrors and concave lenses), so statement II is true. Converging species (concave mirrors and convex lenses) can produce real or virtual images, depending on how far the object is from the species, so statement I is also true.
