Question

a lense produced a magnificatoin of -0.5. if this converging lens ?if the focal length of the lens is 6 CM draw a ray diagram showing image formation in this case ​

Answer 1

"-" sign means it is inverted and virtual

and 0.5 means it is of short size

Answer 2

Answer:

It is a converging lens.

Refer to the ray diagram in the attachment.

Explanation:

Since magnification is -ve, it means that the image is real and inverted.

We know that only a converging lens forms real images whereas a diverging lens always forms virtual and erect images.

Hence, it is a converging lens.

Also, the magnification is less than one. It means that the image is smaller than the object. So, the object is beyond 2F; the image will form between F and 2F.
