Question

The image of any object formed at the retina of the human eye is:

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

Hint:

The retina acts like a screen where a real, inverted image is formed by the eye’s lens system.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The human eye functions like a converging lens system that forms a real and inverted image of objects on the retina at the back of the eye. When light rays from an object enter the eye, they are refracted by the cornea and the eye lens, converging to form a sharp, real image on the retina. Although this image is inverted (upside down and reversed left-to-right), the brain processes and interprets the visual signals to perceive the object in its correct orientation. Thus, the eye forms a real, inverted image on the retina, and the brain corrects the orientation for normal vision.
