Light — practice question

Fig. 4.1 is an unfinished ray diagram showing object O, a converging lens and the principal axis. The focal points of the lens are both labelled F. Fig. 4.1 shows a converging lens with object O on the left of the principal axis. Rays leave the object and are refracted by the lens. The focal points on either side are labelled F.
(a(i))[3]

Complete the ray diagram to show the image produced by the lens. Label your image I.

(a(ii))[3]

Circle three descriptions from the list that apply to the image formed in (i). diminished enlarged inverted same size real upright virtual

(b(i))[1]

State the name of the vision defect that can be corrected by a converging lens.

(b(ii))[2]

Describe how a converging lens corrects the defect in (i). A ray diagram may help.
