Question

Complete the ray diagram below:

The image characteristics are ____.

upright, virtual, and smaller
upright, real, and larger
inverted, real, and larger
inverted, virtual, and smaller

Answer 1

C. Inverted, real, and larger

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverted - An inverted image is formed when the rays intersect below the principal axis. An inverted image points downward.

Real - A real image can be projected on a screen. A real image is on the opposite side of lens as compared to the object. Whereas, for a mirror, a real image forms on the same side as the object.

Image size - a general measure of the image as compared to the original object. Image size is typically stated as smaller than the object, the same size as the object, or larger than the object.

Answer 2

inverted, real, and larger

Step-by-step explanation:

To form the image of the object placed at the 5cm mark, the ray diagram must be properly drawn as described.

1. The first incident ray coming from the object strike the lens and parallel to the principal axis will converge at the other side of the lens and pass through the focus after refraction.

2. The second incident ray must pass through the optical center of the lens undeflected.

The refracted ray in (1) and the incident ray in (2) will intersect at a point where the image will then be formed.

The nature of the image that wikk be formed will be inverted, real and larger than the object as shown in the attachment.

Note that inverted images are real images.
