Only real images can be. In physics, real images are composed of light rays that converge to a focus for each point of the image. Thus they can be projected onto a screen. Virtual images have light rays which diverge as if they had come from points behind the source. Hence a screen will just be illuminated with unfocussed light. Outside of physics, the term "image" may also refer to any visible pattern or picture, in which case "projection", "real" or "virtual" don't mean a lot, though arguably, when you look at your TV or a postage stamp what you are seeing is a virtual image even though its all about as real as any image can be!

Real images can be projected onto a screen?

Real images are formed when light rays converge at a specific point. These images can be projected onto a screen by passing the converging light rays through a lens to focus them. The screen then displays the image that is produced by the focused light rays.


What is an image called that can be seen but not projected on a screen?

An image that can be seen but not projected on a screen is called a real image. Real images are formed when light rays converge at a point, creating a visible image that can be observed with the naked eye. They are not able to be projected onto a screen like virtual images.


Can a lens produce real or virtual images?

A lens can produce both real and virtual images. Real images are formed when light rays actually converge at a point and can be projected onto a screen. Virtual images are formed when light rays appear to diverge from a point but do not actually converge, and they cannot be projected.


Can Virtual images can be projected onto a screen if you turn the screen lightly?

No, virtual images cannot be projected onto a screen by simply turning the screen. Virtual images are formed by the apparent intersection of light rays, and they cannot be projected onto a screen because they do not actually exist in physical space.


In what ways do real images differ from virtual images?

Real images are formed by actual light rays converging at a specific point, while virtual images are formed by the apparent intersection of light rays that do not actually converge. Real images can be projected onto a screen and are always inverted, while virtual images cannot be projected and are always upright.

real images can be projected on to a screen?

yes from a projecter your can go to a photo


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.


Virtual images can be projected onto a screen if you turn the screen slightly Virtual images can be projected onto a screen if you turn the screen slightly Virtual images can be projected onto a scree?

False haha apex :)

Can each type of image be projected on screen explain?

A virtual image cannot be projected onto a screen, because the light rays never actually to through the point where they seem to come from. A real image can be projected onto a screen, because the light rays do actually go through the point where they focus.


What type of lenses can form real images?

Convex lenses can form real images. When light rays converge after passing through a convex lens, they form a real image that can be projected onto a screen.


What is an image which can be projected onto a screen is called?

It is called a real image. Only a real image can be projected onto a screen.


What kind of image does a converging lens produce?

A converging lens produces a real or virtual image, depending on the location of the object with respect to the focal point. Real images are inverted and can be projected onto a screen, while virtual images are upright and cannot be projected.
