Magnification produced by a concave lens is always:
(a) more than 1 (b) equal to 1 (c) less than 1 (d) more than 1 or less than 1
(c) less than 1
Explanation
Magnification formula:
$m=\frac {v}{u}=\frac {h_2}{h_1}$
where, $m$ = magnification, $v$ = image distance, $u$ = object distance, ${h_2}$ = height of image, ${h_1}$ = height of object.
From the magnification formula, it is clear that the magnification varies directly with the size of the image. The image formed by a concave lens is always smaller than the object, therefore, the magnification $(m)$ produced by a concave lens is always less than 1.
