When inverted image of an object is viewed on a screen from the side facing a converging lens, the
lens focuses the diverging, and blurred light rays from the distance object through refraction of the rays two times.Then the rays is converge by the double bending cl at a focal point behind the lens inorder for a sharper image to be be observed.
But when an opaque card is then introduced to cover only the upper half of the lens then the image becomes dimmer because of the reduction in the light intensity on the screen by 50%
