Answer:

The true statement is d) The image formed by a converging lens can be real, inverted, and smaller than the object.

Explanation:

Frankly when an object is placed in front of a converging lens, the light rays from the object converge at a certain point after passing through the lens. The point at which the light rays converge depends on the distance between the object and the lens, as well as the focal length of the lens.

Moreover if the object is placed at a distance greater than twice the focal length of the lens, a real, inverted, and smaller image is formed on the opposite side of the lens. This type of image is called a real image, as the light rays actually converge at a point where the image appears. The image is inverted because the light rays cross over at the focal point of the lens, and it is smaller because the image distance is smaller than the object distance.

However, if the object is placed at a distance less than twice the focal length of the lens, a virtual, upright, and magnified image is formed on the same side of the lens as the object. This type of image is called a virtual image, as the light rays do not actually converge at a point where the image appears. The image is upright because the light rays do not cross over, and it is magnified because the image distance is greater than the object distance.

Therefore the statement "The image formed by a converging lens can be real, inverted, and smaller than the object" is true .
