Convex Lenses
... play with the ray diagram!

Virtual Image and Real Image
Click & drag the object (red arrow)
Red Arrow: Object  |  Blue Arrow: Real Image  |   Magenta Line: Virtual Image
Dashes: Focal Points

Some things to consider:
  1. When the object is outside the focus, where is the image? What type is it? Can you describe it?
  2. When the object is inside the focus, where is the image? What type is it? Can you describe it?
