Question

Which accurately explains concave and convex lenses?

With both concave and convex lenses, placement of the object dictates which side of the lense the image will appear.
With both concave and convex lenses, placement of the object does not dictate which side of the lense the image will appear.
With concave lenses, placement of the object does not dictate which side of the lense the image will appear, but with convex lenses, they do.
With convex lenses, placement of the object does not dictate which side of the lense the image will appear, but with concave lenses, they do.

Answer 1

The third option is correct:

- Concave (diverging) lenses always produce a virtual image on the same side of the lens as the object, regardless of object placement.
- Convex (converging) lenses can produce either a real image on the opposite side of the lens (when the object is outside the focal length) or a virtual image on the same side (when the object is inside the focal length).
