Question

An object located behind the focal point of a convex lens forms a(an)

A. enlarged real image.
B. reduced real image.
C. enlarged virtual image.
D. reduced virtual image.

Answer 1

Enlarged real image.

A converging lens always has a positive focal point so the light rays always converge on the real side of the lens, creating a real image.

It will also be enlarged because when you draw a ray diagram you can see that the image will be about two times or so larger depending on where the position of the object actually is. Usually when an image is reduced, it is when it is a diverging / concave lens.

Answer 2

When object placed behind the focal length of lens (convex) forms enlarge/ magnified image.

Step-by-step explanation:

When object placed behind the focal length of lens (convex) forms enlarge/ magnified image.

convex lens are the combination of 2 spherical surface which are bulging outwards. These are said to be convex as they are directing all light into one point. therefore when object placed behind focal length it form real, inverted and enlarge image
