Not at all. The first example we can think of is the real image of what you see,

formed on the retina of your eye, which is inverted. We suspect that all real

images are inverted.

A2. From a grammatical point of view, real and image are not the same thing.

Images may be reversed, inverted, or even be negative. It may be better to refer to a 'normal' image rather than real.

What is the difference between the image formed on the retina and the object being looked at other than the size?

The image formed at the retina is always real and inverted but the brain interprets it as erect. the object you see will not be inverted.


Does concave lens produce a real image?

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.


Why do you able see virtual and irect image when the lens which is in your eye is convex and it forms real and inverted image?

-- You don't 'see' a virtual image, unless it somehow continues to your eye and forms a real image there. -- The image formed on the light-sensitive surface of your eye is, as you said, real and inverted. The brain does a neat job of interpreting it as an erect image. When experimental subjects are fitted with glasses that invert the image before it enters the eye, so that it arrives at the retina upside-down, the subject's brain is able to make the correction within a few hours and everything works fine again.


Which lens always produces an image that is upright?

Concave lens (diverging) produces an upright image that is virtual. Although to create a real upright image would require 2 convex (converging) lens with a distance of their respective focal lengths between them.


What are the properties of image seen in a concave mirror if the object is farther from the mirror than the focal point?

real, inverted and magnification less than one

Can plane and convex mirrors produce real image?

no it does not produce real image . it produce virtual and erect image


Is it possible for a diverging lens to form a real image Explain?

No, a diverging lens will always form a virtual image. This is because the light rays diverge after passing through the lens, preventing them from actually converging to a real focal point where an image could be formed.


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!!


Which mirror always produce an erect diminished virtual image?

A concave mirror placed between the focus and the pole will always produce an erect, diminished, and virtual image.


Are virtual images always erect and real images always inverted?

No, virtual images can be either erect or inverted depending on the type of mirror or lens and the object's position relative to the focal point. Real images are always inverted due to the way light rays converge at the image point.

What type of image is produced by a converging lens on the screen?

A converging lens produces a real image on a screen when the object is placed beyond the lens's focal point. The image is inverted and can be larger or smaller, depending on the distance between the object and the lens.


How can you identify the three types of mirrors without touching?

In the plane mirror, our image will be seen as same size of us and erect. In case of concave mirror, our image will be inverted. This is because concave mirror forms real, inverted image when object is placed behind the focus of the mirror. In case of convex mirror, the size of the image will be diminished, or smaller than us and the image will be erect too. This is because the image formed is virtual and erect.


Does a convex mirror always produce a virtual image?

yes it always produces a virtual image. it is always erect. Its size is always diminshed. Distance from the mirror is always between Focus and Pole


What does you mean by erect image?

An erect image refers to an optical image that is oriented the same way as the object it is created from. This type of image is seen in mirrors, lenses, and other optical systems where the image appears right-side up in relation to the object being viewed.


Why the eye interprets the image as erect when the image produced is real and inverted?

Metaphorically the eye interprets the image, but more precisely it is the brain which interprets the image, and the brain learns to do so in a functional manner. An inverted image would make it harder to understand what you are seeing, so the brain rotates it to be erect.
