Question

The type of image created by a convex lens depends on whether the object is inside or outside the focal length. Choose the option that best describes the image in each case.

You can test this with the 5cm (fatter) lens in your kit. Place the lens near a page in your book. The lens acts as a magnifying glass and you see a magnified image. Now slowly move the lens away. You should see that the image blurs and then flips. The point where the image blurs is the focal point of the lens. You can see virtual images because your eye acts as a converging lens, projecting a real image onto your retina.
