A candle at left of a double convex lens has a blue line straight from the tip of the its flame to near the top left of the lens and then down and right through a point on a line running through the center of the lens. An orange line from the tip of the lens runs down and right through the center of the lens to intersect the blue line below the centerline of the lens below the centerline. A green line runs down and right from the tip of the flame through a point to the left of the lens on the centerline to the bottom part of the lens and then straight to intersect the blue and orange lines. Where the three lines intersect, a reduced inverted image of the candle is seen.
How can the image be described? Check all that apply.
smaller than the object
real
right-side up
larger than the object
upside down
virtual
The image can be described as:
- smaller than the object
- inverted or upside down
- virtual
it's
- smaller than the object
- upside down
- real
Apologies for the incorrect response. You are correct. The image is smaller than the object, upside down, and real. Thank you for catching that mistake.
Based on the given information, the image can be described as:
- smaller than the object (since the image is reduced)
- real (since it is formed by the intersection of actual light rays)
- upside down (since the image is inverted)
- virtual (since the light rays do not actually pass through the point where the image is formed, but appear to converge there)
