In optics, a virtual image is an image in which the outgoing rays from a point on the object never actually intersect at a visable point. However, if these rays were stretched out they would intersect at a point behind the mirror/surface.

∙ 10y agoWhen light rays from an object strikes a plane mirror an image can be seen in the mirror the image appears to be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front this is a virtual image because no of light actually pass through

Image is virtual
Image is of same size as object
Image is laterally inverted
Distance from object to mirror is equal to the distance from the mirror to the image

What type of image does convex mirror form?
What type of image does a flat mirror form?Virtual image
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.
An image formed when rays actually meet is called?
When light rays come together, they converge.
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.
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.
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 :-)
Does a Convex mirror form a virtual or real image?
A virtual image.
What is an image your brain perceives even through no light rays pass through the image?
A Virtual Image
Is using a plane mirror to form virtual image one of its uses?
A plane mirror forms a virtual image. If it's reflected, then the light does not come from the image, and it is virtual.
What is a difference between a real image and virtual image?
Virtual is not what a human eye can see enot like a reael image
What type of image a mirage is?
a virtual image
Does a diverging lens create a virtual image or a real image?
it will always create a virtual image because when you extend its light rays, they diverge and never end up intersecting. But if you extend these light ray backwards, they intersect to create a upright image which will always be virtual
What type of lens form a virtual image?
A convex lense forms only a virtual image.
Does a flat mirror produce a real or virtual image?
virtual image ( not on screen, brain interpreting)
When an object is inside the focal point of a concave mirror what kind of image always results?
An upright image, which is called a virtual image. If the focal point was outside of a concave mirror, then it would be a real image, which is inverted.
How can a real image be distinguished from a virtual image and can each type of image be projected on screen?
If an image can be formed on screen it is classified as real. Virtual images cannot be projected on an image.
