Consider the image formed by a diverging lens of an ordinary object in two different situations: a) the object is between the lens and one of the foci, i.e., the object distance is less than |f| ; b) the object is beyond the focus, i.e., the object distance is greater than |f|. Which, if any, of the image characteristics (real vs. virtual, upright vs. inverted, magnified vs. diminished in size) differ between situation (a) and situation (b)?
