That's by treating the plane mirror as the limiting case a concave mirror with radius approaching infinity, I think. For a concave mirror with finite radius, there is an object distance where the image position hops from - to + ∞ (and for many other optical arrangements)..Scott said:But in your drawing, you are showing the image originating from minus infinity - which is a special case.
The image will be formed on the opposite side of the lens from the object, and it will be real and inverted.
The distance between the object and the lens, also known as the object distance, affects the location of the image. The closer the object is to the lens, the further away the image will be formed.
No, the image will not be the same size as the object. The size of the image is determined by the distance between the object and the lens, as well as the focal length of the lens.
No, in the case of a convex lens, the image will always be formed on the opposite side of the lens from the object.
The focal length of the lens is a key factor in determining the location of the image. The shorter the focal length, the closer the image will be to the lens. Conversely, a longer focal length will result in a further distance between the lens and the image.
