Question

The focal point on either side of the lens is marked by a small “x”. You will notice that when you move the object (on the left), the real image (on the right) moves as well.

What happens to the real image as you move the object toward the lens? Is the image upright or inverted?

As you move the object inside of the focal point, you should notice that the rays on the right side of the lens start to diverge. Click the box labeled “Virtual Image” in the upper right hand corner. This displays the virtual image created by the lens with the object in this position.

What happens to the virtual image as you move the object closer to the lens? Is the image upright or inverted?

Answer 1

Question: - What happens to the real image as you move the object toward the lens? Is the image upright or inverted?

Answer: As we go closer to the lens the image forms further away from the lens and it goes on becoming enlarged till focus. The image is real and inverted.

As we move within the focal length the image forms on the same side as the object and the image is virtual and erect.

Question: What happens to the virtual image as you move the object closer to the lens? Is the image upright or inverted?

Answer: As we move closer to the lens from the focus the image comes closer to the lens from infinity, the image is virtual and upright, The image becomes less magnified as the object comes closer and closer to the lens within focal length.
