Will a convex lens form a real or virtual image?

A convex lens can form both real and virtual images depending on the position of the object relative to the lens. If the object is placed outside the focal length, the lens produces a real image that is inverted and can be projected onto a screen. Conversely, if the object is within the focal length, the lens creates a virtual image that is upright and cannot be projected.


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.


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.


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.


The type of telescope uses convex lenses to increase the size of the image viewed?

According to scientists, the refracting telescope uses a convex lens which increases the size of an image. The most common use of this telescope is for viewing solar system planets such as Jupiter and Mars.

How many image does convex lens form?

One.


A transparent object that refracts light to form an image is called what?

You are thinking of a lens. If it is to form an image you need a convex lens, also called a converging lens.


Which lens does not form a real image?

concave lens does not form a rel image and convex MIRROR does not form a real image


What is a convex lens that focuses light to form an image at the focal point?

A convex lens that focuses light to form an image at the focal point is known as a converging lens. This type of lens causes parallel light rays to converge and meet at a single point called the focal point, creating a real image.


What type of lens form a virtual image?

A convex lense forms only a virtual image.


Does convex lens produce real image?

No, convex lens does not produce a real image. It reflects the real image


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.


When an object is at infinity from a convex lens what will be the image?

When an object is at infinity from a convex lens, the image will be formed at the focal point of the lens. The image will be a real and inverted point of light.


How does a convex lens create an image?

A convex lens creates an image by refracting light that passes through it. Light rays converge on the other side of the lens to form a real or virtual image, depending on the object's distance from the lens and the focal point. The image can be magnified, reduced, or appear inverted based on the lens characteristics and object positioning.


What can a convex lense form?

A convex lens can form a real or virtual image, depending on the location of the object relative to the lens. It can also magnify or reduce the size of an object depending on the object's distance from the lens.


A convex lens can produce?

Is a fish-eye lens convex?

Yes. Because convex lens produce real image.. so Fish eye has convex lens
