Answer:

Because of the knowledge of <u>relative size</u>, it will be assumed that the smaller jetliner is farther away.

Explanation:

According to the theory of relative size, the distance that an object has to the viewing individual affects the perception of the individual regarding the size of the object.

As stated in this case, one of the jetliners is farther away from the other. Therefore, even if the jets are of equal size, the one that is at a greater distance is perceived to be smaller as it is at a greater viewing range. The one that is nearer to the individual seems bigger in comparison to the one farther away due to a closer viewing range.

Therefore, the jet that is nearer appears larger.

To know more about relative size, refer to:

When an object is placed 8 millimeters from a concave spherical mirror, a clear image can be projected on a screen 16 millimeter
just olya [345]

As per the question the object is placed at a distance of 8 mm from a concave spherical  mirror.

Hence the object distance [u] = 8 mm.

As object distance is measured opposite to the direction of light,the sign for u will be negative.

Hence u = -8 mm

The image is formed at a distance of 16 mm in front of  the mirror.

Hence the image distance [v ]= 16 mm.

As V is measured opposite to the direction of light,its sign convention will be negative.

Hence v = -16 mm

The height of object is given as 4 mm.Let the object height is denoted as -   h_{o}

The transverse measurement above the principal axis is positive.hence object height will be positive.

h_{i} = + 4 mm

As per the question we are asked to calculate the image height.Let the image height is denoted as -  h_{i}

The transverse  magnification m of for spherical  mirror is given as below-

                                     \frac{-v}{u} =\frac{h_{i} }{h_{o} }

Putting the values of respective quantities we will get-

                                       -[\frac{-16 mm}{-8 mm} ]=\frac{h_{i} }{4}

                                       -2 =\frac{h_{i} }{4}

                                       h_{i} = -8 mm

Here negative sign indicates that the image is below the principal axis i.e the image is inverted.

Hence option D is right.
