Question

When we see an object, the image formed on the retina is

• A. real
• B. virtual
• C. erect
• D. inverted

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

inverted


Our eye’s lens is a biconvex lens i.e. it has two convex sides.

So, when an object is at a distance greater than the least distance of clear vision, the light rays from the object get refracted through the convex lens and form a real and inverted image at the retina.

Hence, options $\left(A\right)$ and $\left(D\right)$ are the correct answers.
