Question
The diverging lens in part (a) is replaced by a converging lens also of focal length 100 mm. The object remains in the same position and an image is formed by the converging lens. Compare two properties of this image with those of the image formed by the diverging lens in part (a).

Solution
| S.No | Image formed by a diverging lens | Image formed by a converging lens |
| 1 | Image formed is virtual and erect | Image formed is real and inverted |
| 2 | Image is smaller in size than the object | Image is larger in size than the object |
