Which optical instrument uses a convex lens to magnify objects?
AConcave mirror
BMicroscope
CPinhole camera
DPlane mirror
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Recall optical instruments
Microscopes magnify small objects using lenses.
Step 2: Identify lens type
Convex lenses converge light rays to magnify objects. Microscopes use convex lenses. Concave mirrors reflect light inward but are not lenses. Pinhole cameras use apertures, and plane mirrors reflect without magnification.
Final Answer:
Microscope → Option B
Quick Check:
Convex lens used in = Microscope ✅
Quick Trick:Microscope uses convex lenses for magnification.
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
