Persistence of Vision and Eye Anatomy

Assertion (A): The persistence of vision \(1/16\) second is used in cinematography.
Reason (R): The human eye forms the real image of an object at its retina.
 
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Assertion (A) is true; the brain's retention of images for about \(1/16\) second creates motion from rapid stills. Reason (R) is true; the eye's lens system forms a real, inverted image on the retina. R describes a fundamental eye function, which is a prerequisite for A but not its direct explanation. Thus, both are true, but R does not explain A.
