How is the position of image formed in a magnifying glass?

A magnifying glass works as a convex lens, which means it converges light rays that pass through it. When an object is placed within the focal length of the lens, the light rays diverge after passing through the lens, creating an upright and enlarged virtual image. This virtual image appears to be located behind the lens, making it accessible for viewing, which is why magnifying glasses are used for close-up inspection of small details.
