Solution

When the object is placed very close to a convex lens, the image formed is inverted, or upside down. Here are the steps to understand why:

  1. A convex lens is a converging lens, which means it bends light rays towards a specific point known as the focal point.

  2. When an object is placed close to the lens, the light rays from the object diverge before they hit the lens.

  3. The lens then refracts these light rays, making them converge at a point on the other side of the lens.

  4. The point where these refracted rays meet is where the image of the object is formed.

  5. Because the light rays are converging downwards, the image is formed upside down.

So, the answer to your question is: the image is upside down.
