Which lens can be used as a magnifying glass? For which position of the object does a convex lens form:
$(a)$ a virtual and erect image?
$(b)$ a real and inverted image of the same size as that of the object?

(N/A) convex lens can be used as a magnifying glass.
$(a)$ When the object is placed between the optical centre $O$ and the principal focus $F_{1}$,the convex lens forms a virtual,erect,and magnified image on the same side as the object.
$(b)$ When the object is placed at $2F_{1}$,the convex lens forms a real,inverted image of the same size as the object at $2F_{2}$ on the other side of the lens.
[Refer to the provided ray diagrams for the visual representation of these cases.]
