What are the Properties of images formed by a convex lens?

A convex lens is also known as a converging lens as all the rays of light refracted from the convex lens converge at a single point after refraction, where the image is formed.

The different types of images formed due to the convex lens and their properties are as follows:

1. When the object is placed between ?_???? ??_?

The ray diagram of an object placed between?₁??? 2?₁is as follows:

Image of an object between F1 and 2F1 in front of a convex lens

The image is bigger in size. It is also real and inverted. The image is formed beyond 2?₂.

1. When the object is placed at ??_?

The ray diagram of an object placed at 2?₁ is as follows:
