Image Characteristics of a Converging Lens

Medium Physics Optics

In a lab, a student is studying the behavior of light as it passes through a thin lens. They observe that when an object is placed 30 cm from a converging lens with a focal length of 10 cm, the image produced is real and inverted. Using the lens formula, which relates the object distance (u), the image distance (v), and the focal length (f) of the lens, which of the following statements accurately describes the characteristics of the image formed?

The image is virtual and located 15 cm on the same side as the object.

The image is real, inverted, and located 7.5 cm on the opposite side of the lens.

The image is real, inverted, and located 15 cm on the opposite side of the lens.

The image is real and upright, located 15 cm on the opposite side of the lens.
