Physics · Refraction of light at plane and spherical surfaces, thin lens formula and lens maker formula

When an object is placed between optical centre and focus of lens:

When an object is placed between optical centre and focus of lens:

  • A. Inverted, real and enlarged image is formed
  • B. Virtual, erect and enlarged image is formed
  • C. Inverted, erect, diminished image is formed
  • D. Virtual, real, diminished image is formed

Step-by-step solution

For a convex lens, when the object is placed between the optical centre and the focus, the rays diverge after refraction, appearing to come from a point behind the object. This results in a virtual, erect, and enlarged image on the same side as the object. This is a standard result from thin lens formula and ray diagrams.
