Question
Give the position, size and nature of image of formed by a concave lens when the object is placed:
anywhere between optical centre and infinity.
Solution
In the case of a concave lens, when an object is placed anywhere between the optical centre and infinity, the image is formed between the optical centre and the focus. The image formed is virtual, erect and diminished.
