Type of image Type of lens (i) an inverted magnified image Convex lens ( ii ) an erect magnified image Convex lens ( iii ) an inverted diminished image Convex lens 10. Position of the object: 11. (DIAG) between the first principle focus ( F1 ) and the Optical centre (O). In a convex lens, a light ray parallel to the principal axis passes through the second principal focus (F 2) of the lens after refraction. Therefore, a beam of parallel light rays converges at the second principal focus. So, a convex lens is called a converging lens. 12. (DIAG) In a concave lens, a light ray parallel to the principal axis appears to be coming from the first virtual principal focus of the lens after refraction. Therefore, a beam of parallel light rays appear to be diverging from the first virtual principal focus. So, a concave lens is also called a diverging lens. 13. (DIAG) Ray diagram to show the formation of a real magnified image by a convex lens. 14. Each lens is kept slightly over a printed paper, one by one. The lens that forms a magnified erect image is the convex lens. The lens that forms a diminished erect image is the concave lens. 15. (DIAG) 16. (DIAG) Characteristics of the image are: Nature : Virtual and Erect Position : On the same side of the lens with respect to the object Size : Magnified 17. (DIAG) 18. When the object is at a distance greater than 2f , the image is diminished. When the object is at a distance of 2f , the image is of equal size. When the object is at a distance less than 2f, the image is magnified. When the object is at a distance of f , the image is infinitely large. Thus the size of the image increases and becomes infinitely large. 19. The differences between a real image and a virtual image: REAL IMAGE 1. A real image is formed VIRTUAL IMAGE by actual 1. intersection of rays. A virtual image is not formed intersection of rays. 2. It can be obtained on a screen. 2. It cannot be obtained on a screen. 3.
