The document discusses how convex lenses are used to form magnified and inverted images. It explains that when an object is placed between the focal point F and the lens, three light rays from the object cross at the focal point behind the lens to form a real, inverted and magnified image. When an object is less than one focal length from the lens, two light rays form an upright, magnified but virtual image that cannot be projected onto a screen. Film in a projector is loaded upside down so the projected image appears right-side up. A magnifying glass uses this same principle to make objects appear larger.

*real (can be produced on a screen) -Three light rays extend out from the object arrows and cross the lens. These cross on the other side of the lens under a larger green arrow that is labelled 'image'. -Ray diagram for an object placed between 2F and F from a convex lens In a film or data projector, this image is formed on a screen. Film must be loaded into the projector upside down so the projected image is the right way up. Magnifying Glass-Beyond 2F' -A magnifying glass is a convex lens used to make an object appear much larger than it actually is. This works when the object is placed at a distance less than the focal length from the lens. *upright (the right way up) *magnified (larger than the object) *virtual (cannot be produced on a screen) -Two light rays extend out from the object which is shown by a small green arrow that sits between F and the lens. The rays that extend to the image are in a lighter shade. -Ray diagram for an object placed less than one focal length from a convex lens Only the person using the magnifying glass can see the image. The image cannot be projected onto a screen because it is a virtual image.
