Question
Where should an object be placed so that a real and inverted image of the same size is obtained by a convex lens?
Options
f
2f
infinity
between f and 2f
Solution
2f
Explanation:
Convex Lens Properties: A convex lens can produce both real and virtual images depending on the position of the object relative to the focal length F and twice the focal length 2F.
