Question

If the distance from a converging lens to the object is less than the focal length of the lens, the image will be _______ the object. A. real, inverted, and larger than B. real, inverted, and smaller than C. virtual, upright, and smaller than D. virtual, upright, and larger than

Answer 1

virtual, upright, and larger than. just took the test

Answer 2

Answer;

D. virtual, upright, and larger than

Explanation;

-Real images are those where light actually converges, whereas virtual images are locations from where light appears to have converged. Real images occur when objects are placed outside the focal length of a converging lens or outside the focal length of a converging mirror.

-The image happens to be larger than the object. That happens because the object is between f and 2f away from the lens; if the lens were farther away than 2f, the image would be closer to the lens than 2f, and would be smaller than the object.
