Question

An arrow pointing upward is placed to the left of a thin converging lens, as shown in the diagram. To identify the location of the image, a student draws three principal from the arrow. What feature should all three principal rays have in common?

Answer 1

Answer:

I'm not sure if I have the right words for it, but it is most likely that all three rays will form a larger inverted image after they pass through the lens because the arrow is outside the focal point. The image will be outside of F2, like the arrow is outside of F1.

Explanation:

Due to the shape of the lens in the diagram, you can imagine 3 lines branching out from point Q. I've made a digital sketch about what will happen as they pass through. It's a little crude, but it still works. I hope this was helpful.
