Where should an object be placed in front of a convex lens to get a real and enlarged image of the object ?

For a convex (converging) lens, the nature and size of the image depend on the object's position relative to the focal length (f). When an object is placed between the principal focus (F) and twice the focal length (2F), the resulting image is real, inverted, and enlarged (magnified). This image is formed beyond 2F on the opposite side of the lens. In contrast, placing the object at 2F produces a real image of the same size, while placing it beyond 2F results in a real but diminished image. If the object is at infinity, the image is a highly diminished point at the focus. Therefore, to obtain a real and enlarged image, the object must be situated between F and 2F.
