What is the difference between the image formed on the retina and the object being looked at other than the size?
The image formed at the retina is always real and inverted but the brain interprets it as erect. the object you see will not be inverted.
if the forces acting on an object are balanced the object may change speed change direction or do both true or false?
If the forces acting on an object are balanced, then the object will do none of those things. The statement is false.
Is this statement True or False The amount of matter in an object is it's weight?
False It should read: The amount of matter in an object is its mass (not weight)
Why object distance and image distance are interchangeable?
The object and image distance are interchangeable, because this gives rise to points of conjunction, a point on an object has a conjugate point on the image, both will yield the same value for f and it is a property of optical systems known as reversibility.
What is a virtual image?
In optics, a virtual image is an image in which the outgoing rays from a point on the object never actually intersect at a visable point. However, if these rays were stretched out they would intersect at a point behind the mirror/surface.
What is an image of a distant object caused by refraction called?
A mirage is an image of a distant object caused by refraction of light. This phenomenon occurs due to differences in air temperature causing light to bend, creating the illusion of an object where it is not actually located.
When focusing on a distant object is the lens more concave?
When focusing on a distant object, the lens is more convex. The convex lens bends light inward and converges it at a focal point to form a sharp image of a distant object.
An image of a distant object caused by refraction of light is called a?
a mirage
What type of image is produced by converging lens of human eye if its views a distant object?
A real and inverted image is produced by the converging lens of the human eye when viewing a distant object. This image is formed on the retina at the back of the eye, allowing the brain to process the visual information.
When the image of a distant object is brought into focus in front of a person's retina. what is the defect?
nearsightedness.
The object that casts the smaller retinal image is perceived to be?
more distant :)
How does a concave image produce an image?
An image does not produce an image. However, a concave mirror, specifically one witha parabolic figure, forms an image in its focal plane of an infinitely distant object.
Explain how the eye focuses on distant objects?
When looking at a distant object, the ciliary muscles in the eye relax, causing the lens to flatten. This allows the light rays from the distant object to focus directly on the retina at the back of the eye, creating a clear image.
What happen to the lens when veiwing distance object?
When viewing a distant object, the ciliary muscles in the eye relax, causing the lens to flatten. This allows the lens to focus the incoming light rays from the distant object onto the retina for a clear image to be formed.
A convex lens can produce a larger virtual image if the object is inside the focal point True or false?
False. A convex lens will produce a smaller, upright, and virtual image if the object is placed inside the focal point.
When image in a plane mirror can be upright or inverted depending on where the object is.?
true false-Nixon
Why is the image of a distant object formed by a convex lens is real?
In a convex lens, parallel rays of light converge and meet at a focal point on the opposite side of the lens. This causes the image to be formed on the same side as the object, making it real. The image can be projected onto a screen, showing it is a real image.
