Explanation
Virtual magnified image in converging lens Steps:
- Identify object position: inside focal point of converging lens for virtual image.
- Trace rays: one parallel to axis bends away from focus; another through center undeviated.
- Determine image location: rays diverge, appearing to come from same side as object.
- Compare: image upright and larger than object for viewer.
Why B is correct:
- For object within focal length, lens formula (with ) yields positive (virtual), magnification and upright.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Inverted occurs for real images when object beyond focal point.
- C: Smaller applies to real images with object far beyond 2f.
- D: Upright but smaller not possible for converging lens; would require diverging lens.
Final answer: B
