A virtual image is formed when light rays appear to diverge from a point behind a mirror or lens, after being reflected or refracted. The rays do not actually converge at the location of the image, but the brain perceives them as if they did. This creates the illusion of an image that is not real.

Is using a plane mirror to form virtual image one of its uses?

A plane mirror forms a virtual image. If it's reflected, then the light does not come from the image, and it is virtual.


Why can a concave lens produce only virtual image?

What type of image does a convex mirror formed?

A convex mirror forms a virtual, upright, and diminished image of the object placed in front of it. The image is also located behind the mirror.


How is the virtual image produced by a converging lens different from the virtual image produced by a diverging lenses?

A converging lens produces a virtual image that is upright and enlarged, while a diverging lens produces a virtual image that is upright and reduced in size. Additionally, the converging lens forms the virtual image on the same side as the object, while the diverging lens forms it on the opposite side.


Name the lens that always forms virtual image?

A diverging lens, also known as a concave lens, always forms virtual images. This type of lens diverges incoming light rays, causing them to appear to originate from a point behind the lens, resulting in the formation of a virtual image.


What type of image does a concave mirror a form?

It forms a virtual, right side up, magnified image.


Does a Convex mirror form a virtual or real image?

A convex mirror forms a virtual image. The reflected rays diverge away from each other, and when extended backward, they appear to meet at a point behind the mirror. This virtual image is always upright and smaller than the object.


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.


When does a convex lens forms a real or virtual image?

When object is within the focal distance then virtual image is formed. But when the object is placed beyond the focus of the covex lens ie if the distance of the object is more than focal length then real image is formed.
