'For a convex lens to form a virtual image the object must be located at some distance less than the focal length. True False'
Rashmi P.
True or False: The focal length is positive for converging lenses and negative for diverging lenses. The object distance is negative if it is on the side of the lens from which the light is coming. The image distance is positive if it is on the side of the lens from which the light is coming.
