Distinguish between a virtual image and a real image?

Answer 1

1. a real image is formed when the reflected or refracted beams of light meet directly; in case of a virtual image, direct meeting does not take place.
2. a real image can be formed on a screen but not the virtual image.
3. when we use flat-surfaced mirrors, only virtual images are formed.

Answer 2

Real image Virtual image

• can be obtained on a screen 1. cannot be obtained on a screen
• Is inverted with respect to the 2. Is erect with respect to the object object
• Formed due to the actual intersection 3. Formed when reflected rays of reflected rays . meet if produced backwards.

Answer 3

They are real, however, everything your eyes take in is upside down. So the screen you're looking at now is actually upside down to your eyes. However, your brain, in it's splendor, flips the image the right way!

Answer 4

You can see both. A virtual image is when the eye sees light appearing to come from somewhere, although it has been deviated/refocussed from somewhere else. A real image is when the light from it enters the eye totally undeviated from the object or point of focus. If the light is focussed on your eye retina, your brain doesn't care.

Answer 5

A real image is formed when light rays actually converge at a point, resulting in an image that can be projected onto a surface. A virtual image, on the other hand, is formed when extended light rays appear to converge at a point when traced backward, but do not actually converge, so the image cannot be projected.

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

real
