Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements is true for a converging lens?
  • Step 1: Understand what a converging lens is. A converging lens is thicker in the middle and bends light rays inward.
  • Step 2: Learn about focal length. The focal length is the distance from the lens to the point where light rays converge.
  • Step 3: Know the two types of images a converging lens can create: real images and virtual images.
  • Step 4: Real images are formed when the object is placed outside the focal length. These images can be projected onto a screen.
  • Step 5: Virtual images are formed when the object is placed within the focal length. These images cannot be projected onto a screen and appear to be behind the lens.
  • Step 6: Conclude that a converging lens can create both real and virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the focal length.
