- a real image is formed when the reflected or refracted beams of light meet directly; in case of a virtual image, direct meeting does not take place.
- a real image can be formed on a screen but not the virtual image.
- when we use flat-surfaced mirrors, only virtual images are formed.

- can be obtained on a screen 1. cannot be obtained on a screen
- Is inverted with respect to the 2. Is erect with respect to the object object
- Formed due to the actual intersection 3. Formed when reflected rays of reflected rays . meet if produced backwards.

∙ 12y agoYou can see both. A virtual image is when the eye sees light appearing to come from somewhere, although it has been deviated/refocussed from somewhere else. A real image is when the light from it enters the eye totally undeviated from the object or point of focus. If the light is focussed on your eye retina, your brain doesn't care.

What is a difference between a real image and virtual image?
Virtual is not what a human eye can see enot like a reael image
Does a Convex mirror form a virtual or real image?
A virtual image.
What is the difference between real and virtual image?
Real image can be caught on a screen. But virtual cannot be caugtht so Real image is formed due to convergence of rays but in case of virtual there are only diverging rays and so they appear to diverge from one point where virtual image is located But both real and virtual could be seen by human eyes. Same way real object would definitely give out diverging rays But virtual object is considered as converging rays are assumed to come from such virtual object
Difference between real and virtual focus?
A real image can be captured on a screen (eg white paper) whereas a virtual image cannot.To see an image on a screen light rays must come to a focus on the screen, but with a virtual image no actual light rays come together at the location of the image .. hence a virtual image cannot be seen on a screen.A real image is a source of light energy .. rays of light radiate from it.A virtual image is not a source of light energy.. rays of light do not radiate from it ( although it's where the brain 'thinks' the light originated.)
How do you determine whether the images are real or virtual upright or inverted and enlarged or reduced?
How to tell if an image is real or virtual is easy. A virtual image is outside object.

Distinguish between real and virtual image?
you are contradicting yourself here. a virtual image is VIRTUAL. meaning it technically doesn't exist, (though you can manipulate the light to see it) its focus exists beyond the plane of view and therefore you can't see it. to better explain this, pictures do a whole lot more, search for concave and convex lenses and compare the refraction of an image that you get
Is the image you see in a plane mirror a real image or a virtual image?
virtual :-)
Do cameras have a real or virtual image?
They have a real image.
What is the difference between virtual and real?
real is were you see them and everything.. and virtual is a bad way to date because theirs perves,sickos,and so on!!
Does a Convex mirror form a virtual or real image?
A virtual image.
How far are images shown in a mirror?
they are equidistant between the real and virtual image

How can a real image be distinguished from a virtual image and can each type of image be projected on screen?
If an image can be formed on screen it is classified as real. Virtual images cannot be projected on an image.

What is the relationship between the type and the attitude of an image?
the relationship is that in order to have an image u have to have a special type of attituede like nice and sweet also it ddepends on the type of person and there attitude ^^^ Don't listen to this whatsoever. Now, the attitude of the image describes whether the image is upright or inverted, correct? And the type of image is real or virtual. Now, the relationship between the two is the same for all types of mirrors/lenses. With concave mirrors, when the image is real then it is inverted, whereas when it's virtual it is upright. With convex mirrors when the image is virtual it is also upright, and although I haven't seen a real image on convex mirror ray diagrams, theoretically if the image was real it would be inverted. With a diverging lens if the image is virtual it is upright and as with the convex lens although I have never seen a real image on a ray diagram for a diverging lens it would theoretically be inverted. Finally, with a converging lens if the image is real then it's inverted and if it's virtual it is upright. So, the relationship between attitude and image is this: If the type of image is real, the attitude of the image is inverted. If the type of image is virtual, the attitude of the image is upright.
