Question 4 • Physical Science

Olaf takes a picture of his dog using a digital camera. Which is true regarding the image of the dog detected by sensors in the camera?

Answer
A
It can only be seen when the camera lens is very close to the dog.
B
It forms where light rays coming from the dog converge.
C
It forms where light rays coming from the camera spread apart.
D
It can only be seen from the same side of the lens as the dog.

Explanation

The camera lens bends light from the dog so the rays converge and form an image on the camera’s sensor. This is a real image, and it forms on the side of the lens opposite the dog. Therefore, the image forms where light rays coming from the dog converge, not where they spread apart.
