Real Image Optics: Selecting Correct Answer

[TitaniumX]

Homework Statement

Doing some practice problems to prepare for upcoming exam and ran across this:

A real image is
a. One in which light does not pass through the image point but appears to diverge from that point
b. One for which the magnification equal 1
c. An excellent image
d. An image that can be projected onto a screen
e. None of these


From what I learn, a real image is located in the plane of convergence for light that originate from a given object. I can easily eliminate (b) and (c). I'm just wondering if (d) could be an equivalent statement to a real image, or is it none of the above? Thanks

your thought processes are spot on.

That's good to hear. So can you (or someone) help lead my though process to the correct conclusion?

 

[technician]

you have the answer... a real image is (d)
