Images in a diverging lens are always virtual. when an objectis placed

[nic.harv]

images in a diverging lens are always virtual. when an objectis placed betweenthe focus and optical centre of a converging lens, the image is also virtual. what are the differences between these virtual images? explain by studying the 4 characteristics of each image.



i have no idea of what to do, I've looked through my textbook and couldn't find anything, please help!

What are those characteristics of an image?

ehild

 

[nic.harv]

i think that they are both virtual and that their put through different types of lenses

 

[ehild]

What about position, magnitude, are they upright or inverted?

ehild

 

[nic.harv]

yea i think those as well

 

[ehild]

And what is the difference between the virtual images produced by a converging lens and a diverging one? Can you magnify by a diverging lens?

ehild

 

[nic.harv]

the characteristics are magnification, attitude, location and type
diverging is when the rays radiate outward from the focus
converging is when the rays radiate inward so they cross each other

 

[ehild]

It is correct. Can you tell the difference between the virtual images produced by a converging or a diverging lens?
