Question
How would a pencil look like if you saw it through How would a pencil look like if you saw it through
Solution
When a pencil is seen through a convex lens placed close to it, the image so formed appears larger than it's actual size. The reason for this is, the pencil is placed within the focus of the lens and therefore, the image formed is virtual.
