Question

An object is placed in front of a thin converging lens. The diagram shows the paths of two rays from the top of the object. An image of the object is formed on a screen to the right of the lens. How does this image compare with the object?
Options
A It is larger and inverted.
Correct Answer
B It is larger and the same way up.
C It is smaller and inverted.
D It is smaller and the same way up.
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

When a real image is formed on a screen by a converging lens, it is always inverted. Whether it is magnified or diminished depends on the object distance. Since the image is on a screen, it's real. The diagram likely shows the object between F and 2F, resulting in a real, enlarged, and inverted image.

Hint

An image formed on a screen is real and therefore inverted. The size depends on object distance relative to focal length.
