Question
An object and lens are positioned to form a well-focused image on a viewing screen. Then a piece of cardboard is lowered just in front of the lens to cover the top half of the lens. Using what you’ve learned from as shown, what happens to the image on the screen?
A. Nothing
B. The upper half of the image vanishes.
C. The lower half of the image vanishes.
D. The image becomes fuzzy and out of focus.
E. The image becomes dimmer but remains in focus.

Transcribed Image Text:KEY CONCEPT
FIGURE 18.32 Rays from an object point P are refracted by the lens and converge to a real image at point P'.
Rays leave P (and Q and R) in every
direction. For clarity, only a few are shown.
Special rays
All the rays leaving one point in the object plane
(P) that reach the lens are refracted by it and
converge to one point in the image plane (P").
