A convex image is formed when light reflects off at least a roughly convex surface. It spreads a beam of light out in multiple directions instead of reflecting it in a straight line, so the reflective image looks larger, or, namely, convex.

What is image called produced by convex lens?

The image produced by a convex lens is called a real image if it is formed by converging light rays that actually intersect, or a virtual image if it appears to be formed by diverging light rays that only appear to intersect when traced backward.


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.


How are images formed by a convex lens?

Images formed by a convex lens are real or virtual, depending on the position of the object. When the object is beyond the focal point, a real inverted image is formed on the opposite side of the lens. When the object is within the focal point, a virtual upright image is formed on the same side as the object. The size and nature of the image also depend on the distance of the object from the lens.


Convex lens produces an image that is upside down and reversed from left to right?

Yes, a convex lens can produce a real inverted image that is reversed from left to right. This occurs when the object is placed beyond the focal point of the lens. The image is formed on the opposite side of the lens from the object.


The image formed by convex spherical mirror will always be?

The image formed by a convex spherical mirror can be either real or virtual, depending on the object's position relative to the mirror's focal point. If the object is beyond the focal point, the image is real, inverted, and diminished. If the object is between the mirror and the focal point, the image is virtual, upright, and magnified.

The image formed by a convex mirror?

How is an upside down image formed?

it is convex


When viewed in a spherical mirror the image of a setting is a virtual image. The image lies 12cm behind the mirror .Is this mirror concave or convex?

The mirror in this case is a convex mirror, as virtual images are formed by convex mirrors.


What kind of image is formed by a convex lens when the object at infinity?

The image produced is a real image if the object is located at infinity and the lens is a convex lens. The produced image can actually be placed on a screen and photographed.


A tree is located between a convex lens and its focal point. Which answer describes the image of the tree formed by the lens?

The image of the tree formed by the convex lens is virtual, upright, and magnified.


What type of image does a convex mirror formed?

A convex mirror forms a virtual, upright, and diminished image of the object placed in front of it. The image is also located behind the mirror.


Can you obtain the image of an object formed by a convex mirror on a screen?

nope. bcoz the image is formed behind the mirror.


Is the image formed by a convex mirror laterally inverted?

Yes, the image formed by a convex mirror is laterally inverted. This means that the left side of the object appears as the right side in the image, and vice versa.


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.


Is it true that an image formed by a convex mirror is always inverted?

No, an image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual and upright. Concave mirrors can form both real and inverted images.


What is the nature of the image formed by a convex mirror when an object is placed in front of it?

The image formed by a convex mirror when an object is placed in front of it is virtual, upright, and smaller in size than the object.
