When object is within the focal distance then virtual image is formed. But when the object is placed beyond the focus of the covex lens ie if the distance of the object is more than focal length then real image is formed.

How is the image formed by a concave lens similar to the image formed by a convex mirror?

In a concave lens the object always forms a virtual image. The convex lens also forms a virtual image.


What type of lens form a virtual image?

A convex lense forms only a virtual image.


What are the Lens that can create a real or virtual image?

Convex lens. Concave lens would give only virtual image for real objects.


What are the properties of a convex lens?

A convex lens forms a real image.


What kind of images does a convex lens produce?

Convex lenses form real images and concave lenses form virtual images. But there is one case in which convex lens also forms virtual images. This is when object is placed between Principal Focus "F" and Optical Centre "O"


What does convex lens make you look like?

Convex lens always gives a virtual & diminished image.


What is the difference between double convex lens from double concave lens?

Convex lens give a virtual & diminished image while concave lens give inverted virtual in rare case & magnified image.


What is the only type of image that can be formed by both a concave lens and a convex lens?

Virtual image


Name the lens that always forms virtual image?

concave lens always forms a virtual image


Which lens concave or convex forms the image wider?

Only a convex lens forms any kind of real image and the size of the image is dependent upon the focal length (hence the curvature and and substance) of the lens. A concave lens forms a virtual or imaginary image in front of the lens. It is one that cannot be projected onto a surface. Perhaps what you mean has to do with convergence and divergence. A convex lens causes light rays to converge (come together at a point), while a concave lens causes rays to diverge.


What kind of lens can be used to produce a virtual image?

Convex lens produces both real and virtual images. But concave lens produces only virtual images for real objects. If object is virtual then real image could be produced by a concave lens.


How do convex and concave lenses affect the attitude and appearance of an image?

Convex lens is a converging lens It makes the image real and inverted whereas concave lens is a diverging lens it makes the image virtual and erect.
