As opposed to concave lenses, which characteristic of convex lenses makes them useful in microscopes?


Convex lenses can produce images larger than objects.

Convex lenses can produce upright images.

Convex lenses cause light rays to spread out.

Convex lenses cause light rays to refract

Verified Answer :

A.Convex lenses can produce images larger than objects.

Answer: The correct answer is convex lenses can produce images larger than objects.

Explanation:

Convex lens is a type of spherical lens in which two spherical surface bulge outwards. This type of lens is known as double convex lens or simply convex lenses.

These lenses are known as converging lenses because they converge the light rays passing through it to one point. The image formed by these lens depends on the location of the object. In one case, it produces an enlarged image.

Concave lenses only produces only image which is reduced in size than the object.

In microscopes, the object used is very very small and to view its enlarged image, only convex lenses are used.

Hence, the correct answer is convex lenses can produce images larger than objects.
