Question
Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of a virtual magnified image of an object by a convex lens. In your diagram, the position of object and image with respect to the principal focus should be shown clearly.
Solution
When an object is placed between the focus and the optical centre of a convex lens, the image formed is virtual and magnified as shown in the figure.
