Ginger examines a painting of a stone path extending into the horizon of a field. Two sticks lie horizontally across the path: one in the beginning of the path and the other near the horizon. Each stick measures 10 cm in length, but the stick near the horizon appears much larger than the stick at the beginning of the path. Which illusion explains this phenomenon?​

Answer:The Ponzo Illusion

Explanation:The Ponzo illusion is an optical illusion in which two converging lines seems to disorts our perception of identically sized two lines. This is how our brain visualize things and give interpretation to images. Artist use this to their great advantage of creating amazing effect in their art work

The straight parallel line seem distorted by the background image or by other lines that come to intersect with it.
