41. What type of lens is used in magnifying glass? [67th B.P.S.C. (Pre) (Re. Exam) 2022]

Correct Answer: (c) Convex lens
Solution:convex lenses are used in magnifying devices due to their magnifying properties.A convex lens has the capacity to make an object appear much larger than its actually is here it is used in the magnifying glass is used to enlarge items such as writing so it can read more easily.

42. To remove the defect of long sightedness one uses [67th B.P.S.C. (PRE) 1999, Chhattisgarh P.C.S.(PRE) 2016]

43. Which one of the following statement is not true for a person suffering from the hypermetropia ? [U.P.P.C.S.(pre) 2010]

Correct Answer: (d) a concave lens is used to correct this defect

Convex lenses provide this additional converging power, bringing the focal point forward onto the retina and resulting in a clear image and it also used to remove the defect of far-sightedness.
