.An object O is placed close to a thin converging lens. The diagram represents three rays from the top of O passing through the lens. Which type of image is produced by the lens when the object O is in this position?

The type of image produced by the lens is virtual and erect.
Explanation:
- Convex lens is type of spherical lens which possess at least one surface that is curved outwards. It is thinner at its edges than at its centre.
- Convex lens are also called converging lens as it converges the rays that are parallel to principal axis on a point called focus.
- Focus is a point on principal axis where rays parallel to principal axis and coming from infinity converge or diverge.
- It can form real images which are inverted and smaller or larger or of same size as the object.
- It can form virtual images which are erect and magnified i.e. larger than object.
In this case, the object is placed very close to the lens which is in between focus and pole.
The rays that are refracted are not parallel, rather they converge on the opposite side. So, the rays can be extended back side and can be joined to form a virtual and erect image with is highly magnified.
Below is the ray diagram for the same.
Characteristics of the image:
- Virtual
- Erect
- Magnified
