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.

Differentiate real image from virtual image?

Real images can be obtained on the screen,whereas virtual images can't be obtained on the 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.


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.


Distinguish between real and virtual image?

you are contradicting yourself here. a virtual image is VIRTUAL. meaning it technically doesn't exist, (though you can manipulate the light to see it) its focus exists beyond the plane of view and therefore you can't see it. to better explain this, pictures do a whole lot more, search for concave and convex lenses and compare the refraction of an image that you get


What type of image is formed on a cinema screen?

Real image


How can you use a screen to determine whether an image is real or virtual?

You can't determine whether an image is real or virtual just by looking at it on a screen - both types can appear identical. To determine if an image is real or virtual, you would need additional information such as its source or creation process.


What is the position of the screen when the image formed by a concave mirror is real?

When the image formed by a concave mirror is real, the screen is placed beyond the focal point of the mirror. The real image is formed by the actual intersection of light rays, so the screen needs to be positioned beyond the focal point to capture this image.


Can a real image be seen if you place a screen where the image is focused?

Yes. That's a good quick way to determine whether or not a real image exists. You can also use a piece of thin tissue paper, kleenex, or toilet paper, and see the image from the other side. Put a piece of photosensitive material there at the real image, and you get a permanent photo.


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.


Which lens does not form a real image?

concave lens does not form a rel image and convex MIRROR does not form a real image


What is true of a real image?

A real image is formed by the actual intersection of light rays and can be captured on a screen. It is always inverted compared to the object and can be projected onto a surface.


How could you demonstrate that an image as indeed a real image?

Real images can be produced on a plane and they would be inverted. You can demonstrate that a real image is there by placing a piece of thin tissue there, or blowing smoke through the area. In either case, the image will become visible.
