13.4 Images Formed by Lenses
BeginnerMCQDrawing RepresentationsConceptual25.4k
A thin converging lens is positioned vertically at the center of the figure. A horizontal principal axis passes through the center of the lens. Two focal points, each labeled F, are marked on the axis at equal distances on either side of the lens. A small upright solid arrow, representing the object, stands on the principal axis between the lens and the left-side focal point, noticeably closer to the lens than to F. The object's distance from the lens is labeled s_o, and the distance from the lens to the left focal point is labeled f, with s_o visibly smaller than f. No light rays are drawn, no ray tracing is shown, and no image is drawn — the figure contains only the lens, the principal axis, the two labeled focal points, the labeled object arrow, and the two distance label.
An object placed inside the focal point of a converging lens.
An object is placed at a distance \(s_o\) from a thin converging lens of focal length \(f\), such that \(s_o < f\), as shown in the diagram. Which of the following pairs correctly describes the type of image produced and its orientation relative to the object?

(A)RealUpright
(B)RealInverted
