It's no image at all, until it comes to a focus in your eye or on the focal plane of
your camera.
There's no difference at all between a mirage and anything else you see, except that your
brain places the mirage in a location or a direction where it obviously isn't. That's only because
the light from it bends down more sharply than light usually does. Everything else about the
whole process is completely ho-hum.
What else can I help you with?
Is mirage a virtual image?
Yes, a mirage is a naturally occurring optical phenomenon where light is refracted to produce a false or virtual image, often seen in deserts and on hot roads. This virtual image can appear as a shimmering pool of water or as objects located beyond their actual position.
Can you photograph a virtual image?
No, a virtual image cannot be photographed because it only exists as an apparent position where light rays appear to converge or diverge when viewed through a lens or mirror. It does not actually exist in physical space to be captured by a camera.
What kind of images are right side up?
Images where the top of the image corresponds to the top of the subject being photographed are considered right side up.
An image that results from light rays that only apppear to be a certain location is called?
The most comon name for this is a mirage. Another such image, differently caused, is called a virtual image.
Which wave property is shown when your looking at a mirage?
A mirage is an optical illusion caused by the bending of light rays due to temperature variations in the air. This phenomenon demonstrates the property of refraction, where light waves change direction as they pass from one medium to another with a different density.
What type of image a mirage is?
a virtual image

A virtual image caused by reflection of light in the atmosphere is called?
You're going for "mirage", but we're not comfortable with that description. It's not really the "image" that's caused by refraction. It's more the location or direction in which the image is seen that's caused by refraction.
Why do we see a mirage is it truth explain?
A mirage is actually a virtual image that is seen due to Reflection of the heat rising from a hot surface such as a road. As mentioned, it is a virtual image so onemay think that it is not true...how ever what we see is not a trick of the eyes so this question is pretty biased . however, I personally think that it is true

What makes an image an image?
artistic pictures drawn,painted, photographed.

What do you call an image created in a mirror?
Its called a virtual image.
Is the image you see in a plane mirror a real image or a virtual image?
virtual :-)
Where image appears to be when you look into a plane mirror?
mirage mirror it's self!
