Question

An object O is placed close to a thin converging lens. The diagram represents three rays from the top of O passing through the lens. Which type of image is produced by the lens when the object O is in this position?
Options
A real and diminished
B real and enlarged
Correct Answer
C virtual and diminished
D virtual and enlarged
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The diagram shows an object O placed between the focal point (F) and twice the focal length (2F) of a converging lens. For an object in this position, a converging lens forms a real, inverted, and enlarged (magnified) image on the opposite side of the lens, beyond 2F.

Hint

Perform ray tracing for a converging lens when the object is located between F and 2F.
