Question

A ray diagram without the produced image is shown.


Which describes the image produced by the lens?

real and larger than the object
real and smaller than the object
inverted and larger than the object
upright and larger than the object

Answer 1

The answer is real and smaller than the object. The image point of the top of the object is the point where the two refracted rays intersect. Tracing the entire image having the same distance from the mirror as the image of the top of the object and with the bottom on the principal axis. Hence, a real inverted image will be formed for an object outside the focal point. 

Answer 2

Answer: Real and smaller than the object.

Explanation:

It is a convex lens which converges light. The object lies beyond 2F. The light rays would converge and focus at point between F and 2F. As can be seen in the diagram given in the question. The image would be formed where the two rays are intersecting between F and 2F. The image formed would be real, inverted and smaller than the object. Hence, the correct option is real and smaller than the object.
