Question

refer to the diagram to the left and use the drop - down menus to identify the parts of a magnifying glass.label a:virtual imagelabel b:objectlabel c:objectvirtual imagefocal point

Explanation:

In optics, a magnifying glass is a convex lens. When an object is placed within the focal length of a convex lens, a virtual, upright, and magnified image is formed. The focal point is a key concept in lens optics. In the given diagram, based on the properties and the standard ray - diagram of a magnifying glass (convex lens), we can identify the parts.

• Label A: The larger, upright image that is not formed by the actual intersection of light rays (but by the apparent intersection of the extended rays) is the virtual image.
• Label B: The physical entity (the small candle) that is being magnified is the object.
• Label C: In a convex - lens ray diagram, the point which is a characteristic property of the lens (where parallel rays converge or from which they seem to diverge after refraction) is the focal point.

Answer:

Label C: focal point
