Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Real images are always inverted when formed by a convex lens. This is because the light rays converge at a point after passing through the lens, which causes the image to be flipped. Option A is incorrect because convex lenses can produce virtual images when the object is placed inside the focal length of the lens. Option B is incorrect because real images can be either enlarged or reduced depending on the position of the object relative to the lens. Option D is incorrect because virtual images are always erect (not inverted) when formed by a convex lens.
