A convex lens is used to form an image of an object on a screen. If the upper half of the lens is blackened so that it becomes opaque, then:

1. only half of the image will be visible.
2. the image position shifts towards the lens.
3. the image position shifts away from the lens.
4. the brightness of the image reduces.
