When light rays reflect off a concave surface like a spoon, they converge to a point before diverging again. This causes the image to be inverted. The curved shape of the spoon causes the rays to cross at a point, which flips the image upside down due to the reversal of the light rays.

What part of the eye is the inverted image formed?

The inverted or upside-down image is formed on the retina.


What is an inverted image?

An image that is upside down as compared to the object are known as inverted images. Example, the first thing you will notice is that the concave side of the spoon makes your image come upside down. Such an image is called an inverted image.


Why is the reflected image in a polished spoon is inverted and reduced?

The reflected image in a polished spoon is inverted because light rays reflect off the curved surface of the spoon, causing them to cross over each other. The reduction in size occurs because the curved surface acts like a concave mirror, which converges the reflected light rays towards a focal point, resulting in a smaller image being formed.


Why an image on concave surface is inverted and not on concave mirror?

When an image is placed on a concave surface (like a spoon), the image appears inverted because the light rays are reflected back in a way that causes them to cross over, creating an inverted image. On a concave mirror, the shape and curvature of the mirror cause the light rays to converge at a focal point, resulting in a real, inverted image being formed.


On what part of the eye is inverted image formed?

The inverted image in the eye is formed on the retina. The lens of the eye helps focus light onto the retina, where photoreceptor cells convert the light into electrical signals that are then sent to the brain for processing.


How the image formed in concave?

Real, reduced, and inverted.


How and when is the image inverted?

Whenever a real image is formed by a real object,the image is always inverted. for eg when light rays from infinity falls on convex lens it forms a real and inverted image at focal plane.


Is the image formed by a concave mirror laterally inverted?

Yes, the image formed by a concave mirror is laterally inverted. This means that the left side of the object will appear on the right side of the image, and vice versa.


Is the image formed by a convex mirror laterally inverted?

Yes, the image formed by a convex mirror is laterally inverted. This means that the left side of the object appears as the right side in the image, and vice versa.


Is it true that an image formed by a convex mirror is always inverted?

No, an image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual and upright. Concave mirrors can form both real and inverted images.


Is the image formed by the lens upright or inverted?

The image formed by a lens can be either upright or inverted, depending on the position of the object relative to the focal point of the lens. If the object is beyond the focal point, the image will be real, inverted, and reduced. If the object is within the focal point, the image will be virtual, upright, and magnified.


What is the difference between the image formed on the retina and the object being looked at other than the size?

The image formed at the retina is always real and inverted but the brain interprets it as erect. the object you see will not be inverted.
