Q: What is the nature of the image formed by a convex lens when the object is placed beyond the 2F point? (2019)
Solution: When the object is placed beyond 2F, the image formed by a convex lens is real, inverted, and diminished.
Steps: 5
Step 1: Understand what a convex lens is. A convex lens is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, and it converges light rays that pass through it.
Step 2: Identify the key points related to the lens: F (focal point) and 2F (twice the focal length).
Step 3: Place the object beyond the 2F point, which means it is farther away from the lens than twice the distance to the focal point.
Step 4: Use the lens formula and ray diagrams to analyze the image formation. When the object is beyond 2F, the rays converge to form an image.
Step 5: Determine the characteristics of the image: it is real (can be projected on a screen), inverted (upside down), and diminished (smaller than the object).
