  1. If object is moved towards the lens, the image size will keep on increasing till the object reaches focus. After that, the size decreases but the image remains magnified. The image keeps movingvaway from the lens (on the opposite side of the lens) till the object reaches focus after that the image is formed on the same side of the lens as the object.
  2. If object is moved away from the lens, the size will keep on decreasing and the image keeps on shifting towards the lens.
