In the previous segment, we learnt about the Different image properties of convex lenses. In this segment, let us learn more about the image properties of convex lenses.
What are the Properties of images formed by a convex lens?
A ray of light parallel to the principal axis and a ray of light passing through the optical centre are the two incident rays used for drawing the ray diagrams of the image formed by a convex lens.
The ray of light parallel to the principal axis will pass through the principal focus on the other side after refraction. The ray of light passing through the optical centre will not change its direction after passing through the convex lens.
The different types of images formed due to the convex lens and their properties are as follows:

Image of an object placed behind 2F1 of a convex lens
The image is smaller in size. It is also real and inverted. The image is formed between ?2 and
2?2.
