Easy

A student uses a converging lens to project a sharp image of a distant candle flame onto a screen.

The setup and the resulting image shown on the screen are represented below:

An upright candle is placed on the left side of a converging lens. Light rays pass through the lens to form an inverted, smaller (diminished) image of the candle flame on a screen placed on the right side of the lens.

The student is asked to describe the nature of this image.

The student's descriptions and corrections are shown in the table.

Complete the table by writing the correct descriptions in the spaces provided.
