Physics ray diagram of image formation by a convex lens with labeled focal points and a smaller concave-lens comparison.

Start with this prompt

A 4:3 middle-school optics graphic showing how a convex lens forms an inverted, diminished real image, with a concave-lens comparison.

Recolor the linework green

Changes the rays, labels, and axes from deep blue to deep green; the lens fill stays the same.

Beyond twice the focal length, a convex lens forms an inverted, diminished real image; three principal rays intersect at the image point, and any two locate it; for the same object, a concave lens forms only an upright, diminished virtual image sharing the object’s relation to the lens.

Show a convex lens and object beyond twice focal length. Draw the two typical rays—parallel to the principal axis and undeviated through the optical center—meeting at the image point. Label object/image distances, focal length, focal points, and twice-focal-length points on the axis. State image characteristics. Use straight arrowed rays. Add a smaller concave-lens comparison sharing axis and scale, each with a one-line subtitle. Include every relevant quantity in standard notation; labels accompany each ray or segment.

Use a white background; the lens has a pale blue-gray fill, and all rays, labels, and axes share one deep blue. Use textbook illustration style.

Add a practice question

Adds a small practice question to the graphic; everything else stays the same.
