Question

An object is beyond the focal point of a converging lens. If you want to move its real image closer to the lens, you should move the object

O A) away from the lens.
B) towards the lens
C) to the focal point of the lens.
D) to inside the focal point.
E) to the center of curvature of the lens.

Answer 1

To move the real image closer to a converging lens, you need to move the object towards the lens.

Step-by-step explanation:

To move the real image closer to the lens, you should move the object towards the lens. Select option B) towards the lens.

When an object is beyond the focal point of a converging lens, the image formed is real, inverted, and located on the opposite side of the lens from the object.

If you want to move this real image closer to the lens, you need to decrease the object distance. Moving the object towards the lens will decrease the object distance and bring the corresponding real image closer to the lens.
