Answer to Problem 4RAT

The correct option for the statement is “A real image can be cast on a screen by a” is option (a).

Explanation of Solution

Image is formed by the intersection of the light rays when two or more light rays actually or really intersect, then the real image is formed on the screen. The rays only intersect when they have a converging nature. A convex lens can concentrate the light rays at a point, which is also known as a converging lens.

Diverging lens deviates the ray of light, so to get an image, rays are extended in the opposite direction where they virtually intersect each other, and the image obtained is virtual in nature.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the correct option for the statement is “A real image can be cast on a screen by a” is option (a).
