-- 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.

What kind of images does a convex lens produce?

Convex lenses form real images and concave lenses form virtual images. But there is one case in which convex lens also forms virtual images. This is when object is placed between Principal Focus "F" and Optical Centre "O"


What type of image does a convex mirror formed?

Convex mirror forms a virtual image.


How is the image formed by a concave lens similar to the image formed by a convex mirror?

In a concave lens the object always forms a virtual image. The convex lens also forms a virtual image.


What type of lens form a virtual image?

A convex lense forms only a virtual image.


What type of image does convex mirror form?

What type of image does a flat mirror form?Virtual image


A flat mirror forms an image that is?

Virtual and laterally inverted.


What is the difference between double convex lens from double concave lens?

Convex lens give a virtual & diminished image while concave lens give inverted virtual in rare case & magnified image.


How and when is the image inverted?

Whenever a real image is formed by a real object,the image is always inverted. for eg when light rays from infinity falls on convex lens it forms a real and inverted image at focal plane.


What forms a virtual and erect image for all positions of the object?

convex mirror


How do convex and concave lenses affect the attitude and appearance of an image?

Convex lens is a converging lens It makes the image real and inverted whereas concave lens is a diverging lens it makes the image virtual and erect.


What is the relationship between the type and the attitude of an image?

the relationship is that in order to have an image u have to have a special type of attituede like nice and sweet also it ddepends on the type of person and there attitude ^^^ Don't listen to this whatsoever. Now, the attitude of the image describes whether the image is upright or inverted, correct? And the type of image is real or virtual. Now, the relationship between the two is the same for all types of mirrors/lenses. With concave mirrors, when the image is real then it is inverted, whereas when it's virtual it is upright. With convex mirrors when the image is virtual it is also upright, and although I haven't seen a real image on convex mirror ray diagrams, theoretically if the image was real it would be inverted. With a diverging lens if the image is virtual it is upright and as with the convex lens although I have never seen a real image on a ray diagram for a diverging lens it would theoretically be inverted. Finally, with a converging lens if the image is real then it's inverted and if it's virtual it is upright. So, the relationship between attitude and image is this: If the type of image is real, the attitude of the image is inverted. If the type of image is virtual, the attitude of the image is upright.


Function of the convex lens?

Function of Convex lens: Convex lens causes parallel rays of light to converge after refraction. Also the following can also be considered as the functions of convex lens: 1.when the object is at infinity, convex lens forms the image at focus which is real and inverted. 2.when the object is beyond 2F, image is formed between F and 2F which is real, inverted and diminished. 3.when the object is at 2F ,image is formed at 2F,which is real , inverted and of same size. 4.when the object is between F and 2F, image is formed beyond 2F which is real,inverted and magnified. 5.when the object is at F,image is at infinity which is real inverted and very much magnified. 6.when the object is between F and C, image is formed beyond 2F and behind the object which is virtual, erect and magnified.
