Question

Where should the object be placed to get the virtual image in case of convex lens?

• A. Object should be placed between F and 2F
• B. Object should be placed between F and O
• C. Object should be placed beyond 2F
• D. Object should be placed at O

Answer 1

The correct option is B Object should be placed between F and O

Correct answer is (b).

When the object is located at a location in front of the focal point, i.e. between F and O, then virtual image is formed by convex lens and the image is located behind the object and is enlarged; in other words, the image dimensions are greater than the object dimensions.
