Images formed by concave lenses The construction of images formed by concave lenses. These lenses diverge the rays of light so that they never form a real image but always a virtual one. When the object is in any position, it will be found that the image is virtual,erect,and smaller than the object Fig.The image formed by a concave lens.If AB is the object,the image ab is diminished and erect and, being formed on the same side of the lens as that from which the incident light comes,is virtual. 9Images formed by concave lenses • The construction of images formed by concave lenses. • These lenses diverge the rays of light so that they never form a real image but always a virtual one. • When the object is in any position, it will be found that the image is virtual, erect, and smaller than the object • Fig. The image formed by a concave lens.
