Document Summary
To locate the image, any two of the three special rays can be drawn from the tip although all three are shown in the drawing. A converging lens can form a real image or a virtual image, depending on wher located with respect to the lens. In contrast, regardless of the position of a real object, a diverging lens always for image that is on the same side of the lens as the object and is upright and smal the object. Ray through focal poi parallel to axis the tip of the object, where the object is ays forms a virtual smaller relative to axis reflects through ocal point reflects. Ray through the cent intersects the surface reflects along its orig. Ray to vertex reflects around the optic axis. Ray radial to center of intersects the surface reflects along its orig.
