Images that projected on to the retina are upside down and reversed.Group of answer choicesTrueFalse

Answer: True

The statement that images projected onto the retina are upside down and reversed is true. This phenomenon occurs due to the way light enters the eye and how the lens of the eye refracts (bends) the light rays. When light rays enter the eye, they pass through the cornea and the lens, which are both curved surfaces. As these rays pass through the lens, they are inverted; therefore, the images formed on the retina are not only flipped upside down but also reversed from left to right.

However, the brain processes these images and interprets them in a way that we perceive them as upright and correctly oriented. This is a remarkable aspect of human vision where the brain compensates for the orientation of images as part of the visual processing system, making it seem like we see the world right-side up despite the inverted images on the retina. Thus, our visual perception is a blend of optical and neurological information that allows us to interact effectively with our environment.
