Draw ray diagrams showing the image formation by a concave lens when an object is placed:
$(a)$ at the focus of the lens
$(b)$ between focus and twice the focal length of the lens
$(c)$ beyond twice the focal length of the lens

(N/A) For a concave lens,the image formed is always virtual,erect,and diminished,regardless of the object's position.
$(a)$ When the object is at the focus $(F_1)$,the rays appear to diverge from a point between the optical center $(O)$ and the focus $(F_1)$. The image is virtual,erect,and highly diminished.
$(b)$ When the object is between the focus $(F_1)$ and twice the focal length $(2F_1)$,the image is formed between the optical center $(O)$ and the focus $(F_1)$. The image is virtual,erect,and diminished.
$(c)$ When the object is beyond twice the focal length $(2F_1)$,the image is formed between the optical center $(O)$ and the focus $(F_1)$. The image is virtual,erect,and diminished.

For what position of the object does a convex lens form an erect and virtual image?

You have a spherical mirror. The image of an object placed in front of the mirror is virtual. If the position of the object is changed,the image remains virtual and erect. Is the spherical mirror concave or convex?

$A$ convex lens forms a real and inverted image of a needle at a distance of $50\, cm$ from the lens. Where should the needle be placed in front of the convex lens so that this image is of the same size as the object? Also, find the power of the lens.
