Q: What type of image is formed by a convex lens when the object is placed beyond the focal point?
Solution: A convex lens forms a real and inverted image when the object is beyond the focal point.
Steps: 6
Step 1: Understand what a convex lens is. A convex lens is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges.
Step 2: Know what the focal point is. The focal point is the point where light rays converge after passing through the lens.
Step 3: Place an object beyond the focal point of the lens. This means the object is farther away from the lens than the focal point.
Step 4: Light rays from the object pass through the convex lens. The lens bends these rays inward.
Step 5: The bent light rays converge to form an image on the other side of the lens.
Step 6: Determine the characteristics of the image. Since the object is beyond the focal point, the image formed is real (can be projected on a screen) and inverted (upside down).
