The diagram given below shows an object O and its image I. Without actually drawing the ray diagram, state the following: (i) Type of lens (Converging / Diverging) (ii) Name two optical instruments where such an image is obtained. (iii) List three characteristics of the image formed if this lens is replaced by a concave mirror of focal length ‘f’ and an object is placed at a distance ‘f/2’ in front of the mirror.
