13.4 Images Formed by Lenses
IntermediateMCQConceptual24.9k
A horizontal principal axis with a vertical double-headed arrow representing a converging thin lens at the center. Labeled focal points F are located at equal distances f on both sides of the lens. On the left side of the lens, a solid upright object arrow labeled 'Object' is placed at distance d_o from the lens, positioned between the lens and the left focal point F. A horizontal arrow labeled 'Motion' above the object arrow points leftward toward the lens, indicating movement away from the focal point F and toward the lens. No light rays, back-extensions, or image arrows are shown. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
An object positioned inside the focal length of a converging lens is moved closer to the lens.
A student uses a converging thin lens of focal length \(f\) as a magnifying glass to observe a small object. Initially, the object is placed at a distance \(d_o\) from the lens such that \(d_o < f\), forming a virtual, upright image. The student then slowly moves the object closer to the lens (further away from the focal point). Which of the following claims correctly describes the change in the magnitude of the magnification of the image, and provides a valid physical justification?
