Focal point of image in magnifying glass

focal point of image in magnifying glass

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been given a statement and have to decide if it is true or false and then justify my answer.
I have already established that this statement is false by the fact that a magnifying glass
creates a 'virtual image' not a 'real' one but i am having trouble working out what else is false about it.

ok here's the statement;

In the normal use of the magnify, the object is placed within the observer's near point distance and a real image is produced between the observers near point and infinity. This image subtends a greater angle at the observers eye than does the object in its position between the near point and the eye.

any help would be much appreciated

This statement is false because a magnifying glass does not produce a real image. A magnifying glass produces a virtual image that appears to be behind the lens, rather than in front of it. Therefore, the image subtends a smaller angle at the observer's eye than the object itself.
