Study the following ray diagram and list two mistakes committed by the student while tracing it. Rectify these mistakes by drawing the correct ray diagram to show the real position and size of the image corresponding to the position of the object AB.
"
The two mistakes committed by the student while tracing the given ray diagram are:
1. The image is formed in the wrong position, because if the object is placed between $2F_{1}$ and $F_{1}$, then the image will be formed beyond $2F_{2}$.
2. $F_{1}$ is not equal to $F_{2}$ and $2F_{1}$ is not equal to $2F_{2}$.
The correct ray diagram is given below to show the real position and size of the image corresponding to the position of the object AB.
Image position - Beyond the $(2F_{2})$ (behind the lens).
Image size - Enlarged (Magnified)
