Question

Which depth cue is correctly matched with a description? select one:
a. motion parallax—more distant objects produce smaller images on the retina
b. texture gradient—change in the body's position produces change in an object's retinal position
c. relative size—details becomes less distinct with increasing distance
d. linear perspective—objects in the distance appear to converge?

Answer 1

The depth cue that is correctly matched to its description is d. linear perspective-objects in the distance appear to converge.

The linear perspective is a depth cue which is highly used by the painters and artists to add depth to their paintings. Example, in the image it can be seen that two parallel railway tracks seem to converge at the horizon. This isn't a trick of the painter but a real life observation.
