Which are properties of a real image formed by a converging lens?
Hints
- A real image is one that light actually reaches.
- Magnification depends on the object distance, so size is not fixed.
Show the answer
- A. Inverted
- C. Formed when d_o > f
- D. Can be projected on a screen
Why
Real images are inverted and projectable; size depends on d_o relative to 2f.
