When an object is kept at infinity, the nature of the image formed by a convex lens is:

1. Real
2. Inverted
3. Virtual
4. Upright

The correct answer/s is/are

Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Correct Answer: Option A — 1 and 2 only
When an object is at an infinite distance from a convex (converging) lens, the light rays entering the lens are parallel to the principal axis. These rays undergo refraction and meet at the focus ($F_2$) on the opposite side of the lens.
Nature of the Image Formed:
Real: The light rays actually meet at a point, so the image can be caught on a screen.
Inverted: All real images formed by a single lens are upside down relative to the object.
Point-sized: The image is highly diminished, appearing as a tiny dot at the focal point.
Answer verified by Quintessence Classes faculty — Karan Nagar, Srinagar.
