Question

A ray diagram without the produced image is shown.

A car acting as the object is farther than 2 F away from a biconvex lens. A ray parallel to the principal axis is bent through F. A ray straight through the center of the lens converges with the first and is between F and 2 F and is below the principle axis.
Which describes the image produced by the lens?

real and larger than the object
real and smaller than the object
inverted and larger than the object
upright and larger than the object

Answer 1

Answer: real and smaller than the object.

Reason: For a converging (biconvex) lens with the object beyond 2F, rays converge to form a real image between F and 2F on the far side. The image is inverted and reduced in size (smaller than the object). The given rays meeting between F and 2F confirm a real, smaller image.
