Question
The diagram given below shows the position of an object OA in relation to a converging lens L whose foci are at F1 and F2.

- Draw two rays to locate the position of the image.
- State the position of the image with reference to the lens.
- Describe three characteristics of the image.
- Describe how the distance of the image from the lens and its size change as the object is moved towards F1.

Solution
- The position of image A1B1 is located.

- The image is formed beyond 2F2 on the other side of the lens.
- Image is real inverted, beyond 2f and enlarged.
- Size of image increases and distance of image from the lens increases.
