What else can I help you with?
What image do you see in a mirror that results from the apparent path of light rays?
The image you see in a mirror is a virtual image that appears to be behind the mirror at the same distance as the object in front of the mirror. It is a reflection of the object, with the light rays bouncing off the mirror in a way that creates the illusion of an image appearing to come from the mirror itself.
Why is the image of an object reflected from plane mirror called a virtual image?
The image formed in a plane mirror is called a virtual image because it appears to be behind the mirror at a location where the light rays do not actually converge. This image cannot be projected onto a screen, as it is a result of the apparent path the light rays take when reflected.
What is the term for an image through which light does not really travel?
The term for an image through which light does not really travel is "virtual image." These images are formed by the apparent intersection of light rays that appear to come from a point behind a mirror or lens, but do not actually pass through.
An image that results from light rays that only apppear to be a certain location is called?
The most comon name for this is a mirage. Another such image, differently caused, is called a virtual image.
An image that is formed when light rays meet is called?
An image that is formed when light rays meet is called a real image. This type of image is formed when light rays converge to a point either on a screen or a surface.

What is meant by real image can be obtained on a screen?
A real image that can be obtained on a screen is an image formed by actual light rays converging at a point on the screen. This kind of image can be captured on a physical surface as a result of the light rays coming together. It is different from a virtual image, which is the apparent position from which the light appears to diverge after reflection or refraction.
Where does a virtual image appear in front or behind a mirror?
A virtual image appears behind the mirror. It is not a real image formed by light rays converging at a point but is instead an apparent image that appears to be behind the mirror.
A copy of an object formed by reflected or retracted rays of light is called an?
it is called an image
What is a difference between a real image and virtual image?
A real image is formed when light rays actually converge at a point, creating an image that can be projected onto a screen. A virtual image, on the other hand, is formed by the apparent intersection of the extended light rays, and cannot be projected onto a screen.
What is the focal point of a lens and how does it affect the way light is focused?
The focal point of a lens is the point where light rays converge after passing through the lens. It is the point where the light is focused to form an image. The distance between the lens and the focal point determines how the light is focused - a shorter distance results in a more focused image, while a longer distance results in a more spread out image.
What is it called when light rays make an image?
Focussing.
How do you see a virtual image if the rays of light are not actually meeting?
If you look at something in front of you, light bouncing off that thing enters your eye and you say you can see the object. If now you put a mirror between you and the object, and if you move around you can find a place where you can see it "in the mirror". The object appears to be "through the mirror". The light rays have been bent through angles, but your eye is deceived to believe the object is behind the mirror. It is called a virtual image, because there is nothing to be found at the apparent place where the light appears to come from. That apparent source is called the virtual image. In lenses, the light is bent in such a way that it appears to the eye to come from a place different from the true position of the object. Also a virtual image. Incidentally, when you "see" anything, it is because your eye lens has focused light rays onto your retina. Just like a camera lens focusses onto the image plane (film or sensor chip). That focussed image is a real image. If you look at the sun, it will burn a hole in your retina, the shape of the sun.
