What is a curved transparent object that forms an image by bending light rays?
A lens is.
In order to form an image as seen in a mirror in what order must light rays reflect?

How are images formed by a convex lens?
A convex Lens forms a real, inverted image which can be displayed on a screen placed before the lens i.e, opposite the direction the light rays are coming from. A diminished image is formed at the focus when light rays from an object are focus on the screen.
Why are image reflected from a rough surface not as clear as those reflected from a smooth surface?
Some light that falls on any surface is scattered back (reflected). A rough surface tends to scatter the light in different directions while a smooth surface tends to scatter more of the original (incident) rays straight back. This explains why a smooth surface reflects a "clearer" image than that reflected from a rough surface.
What is the difference between Shadow and image?
A shadow does not show the details of the object whereas an image shows the exact details of the object.A shadow is formed due to blocking of light by an opaque object, while the image is formed due to reflection from an opaque, smooth and shiny surface.A shadow is always dark while the image shows true colors of the object.
An image that results from an apparent path of light rays is called?
virtual
How many light rays are required to locate the image formed by a lens?
2 is the minimum number of light rays required to locate the image (of a point object) formed by a lens. First find the path of rays after refraction and then their point of intersection gives the location of the image.
How does a lens form image?
It changes the path of the light rays (or rather the photons) radiating from the object in question.
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.)
What kind of image is not formed by real light rays?
Virtual image
What is a copy of an object formed by reflected or refracted rays of light?
An image is a copy of an object fromed by reflected (or refracted) rays of light.
How do light rays travel from the object to the image?
Photon light ray
What is it called when light rays make an image?
Focussing.
Which forms where light rays converge?
Real image
When is the image said to be real or virtual image?
An image is called real if the light rays coming from a point(point on object) meet at a point after reflection or refraction. An image is virtual if the light rays do not actually meet after reflection or refraction. These rays appear to come from a point which is the point where we say virtual image is formed.
What is an image your brain perceives even though no light rays pass through the image?
A Virtual Image
Where do light rays form an image in the eye?
It doesn't form an image on the eye but in the brain.
