Why we can see an inverted image from a convex lens?


Open in App
Solution

Description of Convex lens

It is thicker in the middle than at the edges.

Reason and conditions

An inverted image can be seen from a convex lens due to the following object placement-

a) If the object is held at infinity, the captured image will be significantly reduced, real, and flipped.
b) If the object is held outside the center of curvature, the captured image will be scaled down and actually flipped.
c) If the object is held in the center of the curvature, the size of the image will be the same as the size of the object, but the actual size and the inverted size.
d) If the object is placed between the center of curvature and the main focus, the captured image will be magnified and actually flipped.
e) When the object is placed in the main focus, the image is magnified and actually flipped.
