The correct Answer is:
To determine when a real image is formed by light rays after reflection or refraction, we can analyze the provided statements step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Real Images**: A real image is formed when light rays converge and actually meet at a point after reflection or refraction. 2. **Analyzing Statement (A)**: - Statement (A) says, "actually meet or intersect with each other." - This is correct because if the light rays intersect, they form a real image. 3. **Analyzing Statement (B)**: - Statement (B) states, "actually converge at a point." - This is also correct, as convergence at a point indicates that the rays are coming together, which is a condition for forming a real image. 4. **Analyzing Statement (C)**: - Statement (C) claims, "appear to meet when they are produced in the backward direction." - This is incorrect because if the rays only appear to meet (i.e., they do not actually converge), a virtual image is formed instead. 5. **Analyzing Statement (D)**: - Statement (D) states, "appear to diverge from a point." - This is also incorrect because if the rays appear to diverge, they cannot form a real image; they would form a virtual image. 6. **Conclusion**: - The correct statements that lead to the formation of a real image are (A) and (B). Therefore, the answer is that statements (A) and (B) are correct. ### Final Answer: The correct statements are (A) and (B). ---

Two people A and B start from P and Q (distance = D) at the same time towards each other. They meet at a point R, which is at a distance 0.4 D from P. They continue to move to and fro between the two points. Find the distance from point P at which the fourth meeting takes place

The rays of light falling on a convex lens in a direction parallel to principal axis of the lens, get refracted through the lens and meet actually at a single point F on the principal axis of the lens. This point is called principal focus of the lens. Read the above passage and answer the following questions : (i) Is principal focus of a convex lens, a real point ? Is the same true for a concave lens ? (ii) A distinct image of a distant tree os obtained on a screen held at 40 cm from a convex lens. What is its focal length ? (iii) Our teachers and parants advise us to stay focussed. What does it imply ?

A converging bundle of rays travel from water (refractive index 4//3 ) to glass (refractive index 1.5) through a convex interface of radius 16cm. In the absence of the interface, The rays would have converged to a point 32 cm from the pole of the interface. Where will the rays actually meet after refraction?
