A converging lens forms a real, inverted and magnified image when the object is placed
Correct answer: B. between F and 2F
- A. beyond 2F
- B. between F and 2F
- C. between the lens and F
- D. at F
Explanation
With the object between one and two focal lengths from the lens, the image forms beyond 2F on the other side, real, inverted and larger, which is the arrangement used in a projector. Beyond 2F the image would be diminished, as in a camera. Inside F the image becomes virtual, upright and magnified, which is the magnifying glass.

About Optics
Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
