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?
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
When an object is placed between the focal point and the lens of a converging lens, the image formed is virtual, upright, and enlarged. This is the principle behind a magnifying glass.
Hint
Consider the object position relative to the focal length (f). If the object is placed closer than f, the image is virtual and magnified.
