147 Medium
147 of 443
Analyzing +4 | -1
Assertion: Light from an object falls on a concave mirror forming a real image of the object. If both the object and mirror are immersed in water, there is no change in position of the image.

Reason: The formation of image by reflection does not depend on surrounding medium., so there is no change in position of image.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
Option A (If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion) is correct because the image formation by reflection depends on the radius of curvature, which is independent of the surrounding medium.

The astronomical telescope consists of objective and eye-piece. The focal length of the objective is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Greater than that of the eye-piece
Option B (Greater than that of the eye-piece) is correct because in an astronomical telescope, the objective lens has a much longer focal length than the eyepiece to achieve high magnification.
