Answer:
Image is real and inverted
Explanation:
The ray diagram representing the situation is shown in attachment.
In this problem, we have a convex lens, which is curved outward at its centre; the rays of light reaching the lens parallel to the principal axis are refracted into the focal point of the lens.
Therefore, in order to build the ray diagram of this situation and draw the image, we proceed as follows:
1) First, we draw a ray of light parallel to the principal axis and going from the tip of the object towards the lens, then this ray is refracted towards the focal point on the other side
2) Then, we draw another ray of light going from the tip of the object towards the centre of the lens and continuing on the other side of the lens
The intersection point of rays 1) and 2) gives the position of the tip of the image.
Looking at the attached figure, we see that the image is:
- Real, because it is produced on the other side of the lens
- Inverted, as it is upside down
