Consider the arrangement shown in the figure. A black vertical arrow and a horizontal thick line with a ball are painted on a glass plate. It serves as the object. When the plate is illuminated, its real image is formed on the screen.
Which of the following correctly represents the image formed on the screen?
Show Hint
In an optical system that forms a real image, the image is always inverted relative to the object, as opposed to virtual images that are upright.
The problem describes a scenario where a lens or optical system forms a real image. The object is composed of a vertical arrow and a horizontal line with a ball. The characteristics of the resulting image are as follows: - As the image is real, it will be inverted. - While the overall orientation of the object is maintained, the image will be vertically mirrored due to the inversion characteristic of real images formed by lenses. Consequently, the correct answer is the image that is inverted and real.
