A ray diagram is shown.
There is a tree as an object in between 2 F and F on the object side of the biconcave lens. There is a light ray parallel to the principal axis labeled W and is bent away from F on the object side. A ray labeled X goes straight through the center of the lens. F on the image side of the lens is labeled Y and 2 F on the image side of the lens is labeled Z.
Which letter represents the location of the image produced by the lens?
W
X
Y
Z

W
A biconcave (diverging) lens always produces a virtual, upright, reduced image on the same side as the object, between the lens and its focal point. Tracing the parallel ray (which refracts as if coming from the focal point) and the ray through the center (which goes straight), their backward extensions meet at W — so W is the image location.
