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

Lenses that can create a real image include converging lenses such as convex lenses. Lenses that can create a virtual image include diverging lenses such as concave lenses. The type of image formed depends on the focal length and the object distance from the lens.


How could I use a convex lens to create an image of an object that is smaller than the original?

To create a smaller image of an object using a convex lens, place the object between the lens and the lens' focal point. This will result in an inverted, smaller image being formed on the opposite side of the lens. Adjust the distance between the lens and object to control the size of the image.


Does a diverging lens create a virtual image or a real image?

it will always create a virtual image because when you extend its light rays, they diverge and never end up intersecting. But if you extend these light ray backwards, they intersect to create a upright image which will always be virtual


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.


Do you need a lens for a camera to take photos?

Yes, a lens is necessary for a camera to take photos as it focuses light onto the camera's image sensor to create an image.


Which lens always produces an image that is upright?

Concave lens (diverging) produces an upright image that is virtual. Although to create a real upright image would require 2 convex (converging) lens with a distance of their respective focal lengths between them.


How does a diverging lens create a virtual image?

A diverging lens creates a virtual image by causing light rays to diverge or spread out. This causes the rays to appear to come from a point behind the lens, creating an image that cannot be projected onto a screen.


Could a concave lens project an image on a screen?

No, a concave lens diverges light rays and cannot project a real image. It will create a virtual image that cannot be projected onto a screen.


How inverted image is produced?

An inverted image is produced when light rays pass through a lens and form an image that is upside down relative to the object. This occurs because the lens refracts or bends the light rays, causing them to converge at a point and create an inverted image on the opposite side of the lens.


How do lens form image?

Lenses form images by bending light rays that pass through them. The curvature and refractive properties of the lens determine how the light rays converge or diverge to create an image. The image formed can be either real or virtual, depending on the configuration of the lens and the position of the object relative to the lens.


Can lens created virtual and real images?

Yes, convex lens have this kind of property. Convex lens create a virtual image when the object is placed at a distance of 0 to F of the lens (where F is the focal length of the lens). The resulting image is always magnified, virtual and erect. When the object is placed outside the F, the image formed becomes diminished, real and inverted. However, concave lens can only form virtual images.


Can you operate a camera without a lens?

No, a camera cannot operate without a lens. The lens is essential for focusing light onto the camera sensor or film to create an image.
