Question
A lens forms an upright and diminished image of an object, irrespective of its position. What kind of lens is this? Draw an outline ray diagram to show the formation of the image. State the position and one more characteristic of the image.
Solution
A concave (or diverging) lens forms an upright and diminished image of an object irrespective of its position.
The outline ray diagram showing the formation of the image is given in figure. For the object AB, the image is A’B’.
The image is formed between optical centre O and focus F, in front of the lens.
The image is virtual.
