A convex lens is curved outward on at least one side When an object is less than one focal length from a

The image formed by a convex lens depends on
where the object is, just like it does for a concave Focal Length
mirror.

Key Concept
What are the Types of Lenses?
How does the image formed by a convex lens
depend on the distance of the object from the
lens?
Focal Length
When an object is farther than one focal length from
a convex lens, the image is upside down.
