8. A divergent lens will produce ?

always real image

both real and virtual image

none of these

always virtual image

Answer: always virtual image

Explanation:

Diverging (concave) lens will always forms a virtual, erect and diminished image.


9. The refractive index of transparent medium is greater than one because ?

Frequency of light wave changes when it moves from rarer to denser medium

Speed flight in vacuum = speed of light in transparent medium

Speed of light in vacuum > speed of light in transparent medium
