Which of the following statements is true about the image formed by a convex lens? (2021)
Step 1: Understand what a convex lens is. A convex lens is thicker in the middle and can bend light rays that pass through it.
Step 2: Know that a convex lens can create two types of images: real images and virtual images.
Step 3: Real images are formed when the object is placed outside the focal point of the lens. These images can be projected onto a screen.
Step 4: Virtual images are formed when the object is placed inside the focal point of the lens. These images cannot be projected onto a screen and appear to be behind the lens.
Step 5: Remember that the type of image (real or virtual) depends on the position of the object relative to the focal point of the lens.
