What are the two possibilities for an image formed by a convex lens?
Convex (I prefer converging lenses) lenses are thicker in the middle than at the edges. This causes the rays to converge towards the principle axis (line running through the center of the lens perpendicular to the surface). two images will be formed. When the object you are viewing is farther from the lens than the focal length you will have an inverted real image. This image can be enlarged (when the object is between the focal length and twice the focal length), the same size (when the object is twice the focal length from the lens) or reduced (when the object is beyond twice the focal length). When the object is closer to the lens than the focal length you are using the lense as a magnifying glass and you will have an upright virtual image.
What images does the convex lens form?
If Object is placed at focal point, then image will form at infinity. If object is placed between focal point and 2 F image will be bigger, real and inverted. If placed at 2 F, then it will form at apposite side, at 2 F, real, inverted and of same size.If placed away from 2 F, then image will be real, inverted,smaller and between focal point and 2 F.
What is see-through paper called?
If the paper is truly see-through, then it is transparent. If you can see light through it, but not a clear image, then it is translucent.
What could be used to create an image of a storm?
An 'image' (graphical) then either a camera, video recorder or even use image graphics or image editting software (such as photoshop ect).
Which model of earths interior does this image show?
Without the image it is impossible to say
What is a convex lens that focuses light to form an image at the focal point?
A magnifying lens. In a Refracting Telescope, a convex lens focuses light to form an image at the focal point.
What creates an image that is reflected through a focal point?
a convex lens
Why can't a convex mirror create a real image?
Because the focal point of the convex mirror will always be at a 'virtual' place. Convex mirrors focus the image at a definite point.
What is a positive lens the same as?
A positive lens is also called a magnifying lens. It has convex surfaces and it has a measureable focal length where it produces an inverted image of a distant object. The power in dioptres is the reciprocal of the focal length in metres.
Is a a convex lens focus light to form an image at the focal point?
Yes, it does focus light to form an image at the focal point and hence it is used in spectacles.
Why the image doesnt flip for a convex mirror?
You need to draw a convex mirror. If you add lines normal to its surface you will see that the focal point is behind the mirror. The image is not inverted.
When do convex lens produce real image?
When the object length is less than the focal length
Where is the focal point of a lens?
The focal point of a convex lens is the point where light rays parallel to the axis are brought to a point. What this means in practical terms is that, in a camera, the lens focuses to its focal point, which is set at the film plane. This creates the image. Today, with auto-focus lenses for most consumer cameras, we don't think about the focal point much. When the auto-focus fails, however, which it can do from time to time, the photographer must manually bring the image to the focal point.
Point at which light rays are converged by a convex lens?
Focus (only at the focal point if the incoming rays are all parallel to the axis).
What are some ways using convex and concave lenses to form an image that is smaller than the object?
For forming a smaller image than the object using convex and concave lenses, you can place the object closer to the convex lens than its focal length, then position a concave lens closer to the convex lens than the sum of their focal lengths. This arrangement will produce a smaller inverted image. Adjustments can be made by changing the distances between the lenses to fine-tune the size and position of the image.
A convex lens can produce a larger virtual image if the object is inside the focal point True or false?
True.
Is the type of image formed by a convex lens depend on the location of the object relative to the optical axis?
No it isn't, because the type of image a convex lens forms depends on where the object is relative to the focal point of the lens.
