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.
