Question
In a reading glass what is the position of the object with respect to the convex lens used?
Solution
The object is positioned between the lens's focus and pole while using a reading glass. This enables the thing to be magnified.

Explain what is meant by a virtual, magnified image.
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.
At which position will you keep an object in front of a convex lens so as to get a real image of the same size as the object? Draw a figure.
Solve the following example.
An object kept 60 cm from a lens gives a virtual image 20 cm in front of the lens. What is the focal length of the lens? Is it a converging lens or diverging lens?
