Images formed by Convex Lens

Last Updated on July 3, 2023 By Mrs Shilpi Nagpal

Question 1 Where should an object be placed in front of a convex lens so as to obtain image on same side of lens?

Question 2 The image formed by convex lens is seen to be real, inverted and diminished. What is the position of the object?

Question 3 The image formed by convex lens is seen to be real, inverted and highly magnified. What is the position of the object?

Image formation in Lenses using Ray Diagram

(1) A ray parallel to principal axis

A ray of light travelling parallel to principal axis passes or appears to pass through focus after passing through lens.


(2) A ray passing through principal focus

A ray of light passing through focus or directed towards it, travel parallel to principal axis after passing through the lens.


(3) A ray passing through optical centre of the lens

A ray passing through optical centre travels undeviated after passing through lens.

(2) Image is of same size as that of object.

(3) It is real, inverted.

 

Object is between F1 and 2F1

Object is between F1 and 2F1
(1) Image is formed beyond 2F2

(2) It is larger in size than object.
