A camera uses a converging lens. The image of a distant object forms at:

Answer: f from lens.

  • A 2f from lens
  • B f from lens
  • C Between f and 2f
  • D At the object position

Correct answer: B. f from lens

Explanation: For a distant (infinity) object, parallel rays converge at the focal point. Image forms at distance f from lens.

Concave mirror ray diagram with an object drawn as a candle on the principal axis, the focal point F marked, and the parallel ray and focal ray reflecting to form an inverted real image

Concave mirror ray construction: a ray parallel to the axis reflects through F, and a ray through F reflects parallel, locating the inverted real image. Image: Maxmath12, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons.

Concept context

Reflection, refraction, lenses, mirrors, total internal reflection.
