The image produced by a convex lens depends on what?

The image depends on the distance the object is from the lens.


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.


The image produced by a convex lens depends upon?

The image produced by a convex lens depends upon the object distance from the lens, the focal length of the lens, and the type of object being viewed (real or virtual). The characteristics of the image, such as its size, orientation, and location, are determined by the lens formula and the properties of the convex lens.


What lens produces the image to be upside down and reversed and what is the image called?

convex lens


Explain how an image produced by a convex mirror is similar to an image produced by a concave lens?

An image produced by a convex mirror and an image produced by a concave lens are both virtual, erect, and diminished. They both form on the same side as the object and the images appear smaller than the object itself.


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.


If the image produced by a lens is the same size as the object then the lens must be?

A diverging lens. In this case, the object distance will be equal to the image distance but with opposite sign.


Does convex lens produce real image?

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


If an object is placed at a distance greater than twice the focal length of a convex lens what type of an image will be produced?

If an object is placed at a distance greater than twice the focal length of a convex lens, a real and inverted image will be produced. The image will also be smaller than the object.


Why Convex lens is also called a magnifying glass?

A convex lens is also called a magnifying glass because it converges light rays to a focal point to produce a magnified image of an object. When an object is placed close to a convex lens, the lens creates a virtual, magnified image of the object, making it appear larger when viewed through the lens.


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.


Is the image larger or smaller through a convex lens?

both according to the position of the image in front of the lensif placed in infiniity or beyond the centre of curvature the image will be small if placed between centre of curvatureand pole the image will be bigger in size
