Question

Consider the following statements :
A real image
1. can be formed on a screen.
2. is always magnified and inverted.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

• A. Only $1$
• B. Only $2$
• C. Both $1$ and $2$
• D. Neither $1$ nor $2$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Only $1$

If the image is real then the light will actually converge to form it.

Hence, it can be obtained on a screen.

Hence statement $1$ is true.

If the object is at infinity for a concave mirror then it forms a diminished and real image of the object. Hence, statement $2$ is false.
