An image of an object located at infinity was formed by a convex lens. The magnification of the image _____.

The correct answer is: Tends to 0

An image of an object located at infinity was formed by a convex lens. The magnification of the image tends to 0.

• The image formation in a lens depends on the nature of the lens.
• The convex lens forms an enlarged or magnified image when it falls on the same side.
• The image size will be less when it is falling on the opposite side of the lens.
• When the object is placed at infinity, the real image is formed at the focus. The size of the image is highly diminished and point size.
• Thus, the magnification m= h_i/h_o will tend to zero.
