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

Create a 4:3 landscape, single-page physics teaching graphic for middle-school optics titled “Ray Diagram for Image Formation by a Convex Lens.”

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.

Recolor the linework green

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