Because when you extend the light rays, they diverge and never meet. so you must always extend the light rays back behind the object, this will always result in the image being upright and erect. Meaning it will always be virtual, never real.

Does a concave lens always produce a virtual image?

No, a concave lens can produce both real and virtual images depending on the object location relative to the lens. If the object is located within the focal point of the concave lens, a virtual image will be produced. If the object is located beyond the focal point, a real image will be formed.


Can a concave lens usually produce a real image?

No, a concave lens usually produces only virtual images. This is because the light rays diverge after passing through the lens and cannot converge to form a real image.


Is it possible for a concave lens alone to form an image on a screen?

No, a concave lens alone cannot form a real image on a screen. Concave lenses always produce virtual, upright, and diminished images.


Do concave lenses always produce a smaller image?

Concave lenses can produce either smaller or larger images, depending on the object's distance from the lens and the characteristics of the lens itself. The image produced by a concave lens can be virtual, upright, and smaller, or it can be real, inverted, and larger.


What is an optical device that uses a lens to produce a larger and virtual image?

A camera, television, lap top, glasses, psp, claw machine.


Why is real image not formed by concave lens?

A real image is not formed by a concave lens because the light rays passing through a concave lens diverge, rather than converge, making it unable to form a real image. Concave lenses only produce virtual images where the rays appear to diverge from a point behind the lens when extended backwards.


What image does a concave lens produce?

How concave lens produce real image for virtual object?

A concave lens can produce a real image for a virtual object by refracting light rays in such a way that they diverge as if they originated from a point behind the lens. This creates an image that can be projected onto a screen or surface. The lens helps spread out the light rays, creating a focused image that can be seen.


What are the Lens that can create a real or virtual image?

Lenses that can create a real image include converging lenses such as convex lenses. Lenses that can create a virtual image include diverging lenses such as concave lenses. The type of image formed depends on the focal length and the object distance from the lens.


What kind of lens can be used to produce a virtual image?

Convex lens produces both real and virtual images. But concave lens produces only virtual images for real objects. If object is virtual then real image could be produced by a concave lens.


Can a concave lens form a real image?

Never. Since the rays coming from a real object will always be diverging. The action of a concave lens is diverging action. Hence the already diverged rays will be dirverged further. Hence no chance of convergence. Only converging rays would form a real image. Hence the answer, NEVER.


Does convex lens produce real image?

No, convex lens does not produce a real image. It reflects the real image
