An object is placed between convex lens and its focus, the image formed is :

Correct answer: B. Virtual, erect, in front of the lens

  • A. Real inverted , in front of the lens
  • B. Virtual, erect, in front of the lens
  • C. Real erect behind the lens
  • D. Real inverted behind the lens

Explanation

When an object is placed between a convex lens and its focus, the image formed is virtual, erect, and located on the same side as the object (in front of the lens). This is because a convex lens is a converging lens, meaning it brings parallel rays of light together.

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.
