Image Formed of Convex Lens in Different Cases
Convex Lens in Different Cases
Case 1 : Object at Infinity
A point object lying on the principal axis
Rays come parallel to the principal axis and after refraction from the lens, actually meet at the second principal focus F2.
Fig. Convex lens point object at infinity, image at focus.
The image is formed at focus F2.It is real and point sized.
A big size object with its foot on the principal axis
Parallel rays come inclined to the principal axis. Image of foot is formed at the focus.
Image is formed at the second principal focus F2. It is real inverted and diminished (smaller in size than the object). (Fig.)

Case 2 : Object at distance more than twice the Focal Length
Real object AB has its image A'B' formed between distance f and 2f.
The image is real inverted and diminished (smaller in size than the object)
Fig. Convex lens : object beyond 2f, image between f and 2f.
Case 3. Object at distance twice the Focal Lengths
Real object AB has its image A'B' formed at distance 2f.
Fig. Convex lens : object at distance 2f, image at distance 2f.
The image is real, inverted and has same size as the object.
Case 4 : Object at distance more than Focal Length and less than twice is Focal Length
Real object AB has its image A'B' formed beyond distance 2f.
Fig. Convex lens : object at distance between f and 2f, image beyond 2f.
The image is real inverted and enlarged (bigger in size than the object).
Case 5 : Object at Focus
Real object AB has its image formed at infinity.
Fig. Convex lens : object at focus, image at infinity.
The image is imaginary inverted (refracted rays to downward) and must have very large size.
Case 6 : Object between Focus and Optical Centre
Real object AB has its image A'B' formed in front of the lens.
Case 1 : Object at Infinity
A point object lying on the principal axis
Rays come parallel to the principal axis and after refraction from the lens, actually meet at the second principal focus F2.
Fig. Convex lens point object at infinity, image at focus.
The image is formed at focus F2.It is real and point sized.
A big size object with its foot on the principal axis
Parallel rays come inclined to the principal axis. Image of foot is formed at the focus.
Image is formed at the second principal focus F2. It is real inverted and diminished (smaller in size than the object). (Fig.)

Case 6 : Object between Focus and Optical Centre
