Rays diverge, virtual, erect, enlarged image.
Rays are parallel, no image formed.
Image beyond 2F, magnified, real and inverted.
Image at 2F, same size, real and inverted.
Ray 3 (Optional): Through principal focus, refracts parallel to the principal axis.
Ray 2: Through the optic center, goes undeviated.
Ray 1: From the top, parallel to the principal axis, refracts through the principal focus.
Concave lenses always produce a virtual image.
Convex lenses can produce real or virtual images based on object position.
Position: Between F and O, regardless of object location.
Size: Always diminished.
Nature: Virtual, erect.
Object between F and O:
Object at F:
Object between F and 2F:
Object at 2F:
Size: Diminished
Nature: Inverted (Real Image)
Position: Between F and 2F (10 cm and 20 cm)
Draw Rays:
Draw the Lenses: Mark focal points and 2F.
Method: Drawing two rays helps determine image properties (size, position, nature) for any lens scenario.
