What conditions must exist for a converging lens to produce a real image of an object that is larger than the object itself? Please respond with 3 - 4 complete sentences.
When the object is far enough away to be beyond the focal point of a converging lens, light originating from the object and passing through the lens converges and can be focused on a screen, as illus- trated in Figure 30.6. An image formed by converging light is called a real image. A real image formed by a single converging lens is upside down (inverted). Converging lenses are used for projecting motion pictures onto a screen.
To produce a real image that is larger than the object itself, three conditions must be met with a converging lens. Firstly, the object must be placed beyond the lens's focal point. Secondly, the object's distance from the lens should be greater than twice the focal length. Lastly, the object should be positioned at a distance less than the lens's focal length from the lens' principal axis. These conditions allow the lens to converge the incoming light rays and form a magnified real image on the opposite side of the lens.
