Final image produced by a compound microscope is_____________?
Correct answer: D. virtual and inverted
- A. real and inverted
- B. real and erect
- C. virtual and erect
- D. virtual and inverted
Explanation
The objective of a compound microscope first forms a real, inverted intermediate image. The eyepiece acts as a magnifying glass and produces a virtual image, which remains inverted relative to the original object. The likely mistake is choosing c, virtual and erect, because the eyepiece makes the final image virtual but does not reverse the inversion produced by the objective.

About Optics
Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
