39. The lenses forms different types of images when object placed at different locations. When a ray is
incident parallel to the principal axis, then after refraction, it passes through the focus or appears to

placed between focus and optical center of the convex lens, erect and magnified image is formed.As
the object is brought closer to the convex lens from infinity to focus, the image moves away from the
convex lens from focus to infinity. Also the size of image goes on increasing and the image is always
real and inverted.A concave lens always gives a virtual, erect and diminished image irrespective to the
position of the object.
