Question

If I want an image larger than the object (using a convex lens), where must I place the object and where will the image be formed?

• A. Object Location - closer than $2f$ to the lens, Image Location - further than $2f$ from the lens
• B. Object Location - further than $2f$ to the lens, Image Location - closer than $2f$ from the lens
• C. Object Location - between $f$ and $2f$, Image Location - closer than $f$ to the lens
• D. Object Location - closer than $2f$ to the lens, Image Location - closer than $2f$ from the lens
• E. Object Location - further than $2f$ to the lens, Image Location - further than $2f$ from the lens

Answer 1

The correct option is A Object Location - closer than $2f$ to the lens, Image Location - further than $2f$ from the lens

When an object is placed between $f$ and $2f$ in front of the convex lens, then the lens forms a real, inverted but larger image at a screen placed beyond $2f$ of the lens.

Hence option A is correct.
