Question
Why does the image formed by a convex lens become real and inverted when the object is moved beyond the
focal point?
Explanation
**Concave mirror image formation** depends on object position: beyond C real inverted diminished between F and C, at C real inverted same size at C, between C and F real inverted magnified beyond C, at F image at infinity, within F virtual erect magnified behind mirror. Beyond the focal point, a convex lens converges light rays to a point on the opposite side of the lens. This convergence forms a real image, and because the rays cross over, the image is inverted relative to the object’s orientation. Substituting values gives Due to convergence of rays on the opposite side, which matches expected image position and
