Question

What conditions must exist for a converging lens to produce a real image of an object that is larger than the object itself? Please respond with 3 - 4 complete sentences.

Answer 1

When the object is far enough away to be beyond the focal point of a converging lens, light originating from the object and passing through the lens converges and can be focused on a screen, as illus- trated in Figure 30.6. An image formed by converging light is called a real image. A real image formed by a single converging lens is upside down (inverted). Converging lenses are used for projecting motion pictures onto a screen.
