Question

Which of the following is a valid point in differentiating between an Image and an Object ?

• A. Image is the point of intersection of reflected/refracted rays while Object is the point of intersection of incident rays
• B. Object is the point of intersection of reflected/refracted rays while Image is the point of intersection of incident rays
• C. Image is the point of intersection of reflected rays while Object is the point of intersection of refracted rays
• D. Image is the point of intersection of refracted rays while Object is the point of intersection of reflected rays

Answer 1

The correct option is A Image is the point of intersection of reflected/refracted rays while Object is the point of intersection of incident rays

Object is defined as point of intersection of incident rays. Image is defined as point of intersection of reflected rays (in case of reflection) or refracted rays( in case of refraction).
