A young boy is playing with a simple convex magnifying glass

A young boy is playing with a simple convex magnifying glass, but cannot seem to get a magnified image. Instead, he sees an inverted image and is rather confused. Explain what the boy is doing wrong. Object is placed within F, thereby producing an inverted image. The magnifying glass is broken. Object is placed beyond F. None of the above

Solution

Solution:

If the object is outside the focal length, a convex glass will form a real, inverted image.

Since the image is inverted, the object is beyond the focal length F.
