Hi,
When a person is farsighted, I understand that they use a converging lens. Doing this would make any object within the focal point of the converging lens become a virtual upright image that is large than the object itself (magnifying the object size).
However, does this mean that if one were to look at an object outside the focal point of the lens, images would invert? i.e. since the object is beyond the focal point of the converging lens, a real, inverted image should form.
This seems impractical for everyday use, but I don't have a converging lens on hand, so I can't try this out myself. Do images far away actually invert?
Thanks!
