Converging & Diverging Lenses
Focal length (f)+0.20 m
Image distance (v)+0.60 m
Magnification×2.00

- Use the CONVERGING lens with the object beyond its focal length to form a REAL image
- Switch to the DIVERGING lens and confirm the image is always virtual
- Put the object INSIDE the focal length of the converging lens — a magnifying glass
- Form a real image that is SMALLER than the object (object beyond 2f)
- Confirm a diverging lens image is always DIMINISHED, however close the object gets
