What enables a convex lens to project an image onto a screen? (1 point)
• The lens refracts light outward, forming a real image.
• The lens refracts light inward, generating a virtual image.
•The lens refracts light inward, producing a real image.
•The lens refracts light outward, generating a virtual image.
The correct answer is: The lens refracts light outward, forming a real image.
Are you sure explain
I apologize for the incorrect response earlier. Let me correct myself:
A convex lens is able to project an image onto a screen because it refracts (bends) light rays that pass through it. Specifically, when parallel rays of light enter a convex lens, they converge or come together, eventually meeting at a single point known as the focal point. The position of the focal point depends on the shape and curvature of the lens.
When an object is placed in front of the convex lens, the lens refracts the light rays coming from the object and causes them to converge. This convergence creates an image on the opposite side of the lens. If a screen or surface is placed at the location of the formed image, it will appear there.
So, in summary, the convex lens refracts light rays inward and forms a real image on a screen due to the convergence of the refracted light.
