Draw ray diagram showing the image formation by a convex lens when an object is placed at infinity.

Open in App

Solution

When an object is placed at infinity then incident light rays are parallel to the principal axis and they will converge at the focal point of the lens.
The image formed is real, inverted, and point-sized.
