A virtual image is a copy of an object formed at the location from which the light rays appear to come. Whereas a real image is a copy of an object formed at the point where the light rays actually meet.

In what ways do real images differ from virtual images?

Real images are formed by actual light rays converging at a specific point, while virtual images are formed by the apparent intersection of light rays that do not actually converge. Real images can be projected onto a screen and are always inverted, while virtual images cannot be projected and are always upright.


Can a lens produce real or virtual images?

A lens can produce both real and virtual images. Real images are formed when light rays actually converge at a point and can be projected onto a screen. Virtual images are formed when light rays appear to diverge from a point but do not actually converge, and they cannot be projected.


What type pf images can a concave mirror form?

A concave mirror can form real images or virtual images depending on the object position relative to the focal point of the mirror. Real images are formed when the object is located beyond the focal point, while virtual images are formed when the object is located between the mirror and the focal point.


Can convex mirrors produce real images?

What mirrors show virtual or real images?

Mirrors that show virtual images are concave mirrors, while mirrors that show real images are convex mirrors. Concave mirrors can create magnified or reduced virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the mirror, while convex mirrors always create smaller, upright, and virtual images.
