No, a concave lens can produce both real and virtual images depending on the object location relative to the lens. If the object is located within the focal point of the concave lens, a virtual image will be produced. If the object is located beyond the focal point, a real image will be formed.

Which mirror always produce an erect diminished virtual image?

A concave mirror placed between the focus and the pole will always produce an erect, diminished, and virtual image.


Is it possible for a concave lens alone to form an image on a screen?

No, a concave lens alone cannot form a real image on a screen. Concave lenses always produce virtual, upright, and diminished images.


Why can a concave lens produce only virtual image?

it can only produce virtual images because whenever an object is placed, a virtual image forms


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.


Do concave lenses always produce a smaller image?

Concave lenses can produce either smaller or larger images, depending on the object's distance from the lens and the characteristics of the lens itself. The image produced by a concave lens can be virtual, upright, and smaller, or it can be real, inverted, and larger.


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.


Which mirror can produce virtual image larger than the object?

A concave mirror.


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.


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.


Why can concave lens produce only virtual images?

it can only produce virtual images because whenever an object is placed, a virtual image forms


Is image distance always taken as negative for concave mirror or lens?

In the case of concave mirrors, the image distance is typically taken as negative when the image is formed on the same side as the object (real image). However, for virtual images formed by concave mirrors, the image distance is considered positive. For concave lenses, the image distance is always taken as negative because they always produce virtual images on the same side as the object. Therefore, while there are specific conventions, the sign of the image distance depends on the type of image and optical device being used.


Can a concave mirror produce a virtual and real image?

Yes, a concave mirror can produce both virtual and real images. When the object is placed beyond the focal point, a real inverted image is formed. When the object is placed between the mirror and the focal point, a virtual upright image is produced.
