Convex lenses can only make real images because they converge light rays that pass through them. This convergence causes the light rays to meet at a point beyond the lens, creating a focused image. In contrast, concave lenses diverge light rays and cannot create a real image.

Can a convex mirror produce real images?

Yes, but it can be hard to arrange. You need to set up a real image as a virtual object, and make the convex mirror image that. If the rays converge strongly enough, they will still converge after reflecting off the convex mirror.


How do images formed by a concave lens and convex mirror different?

Images formed by a concave lens are always virtual, upright, and reduced in size. On the other hand, images formed by a convex mirror are virtual, erect, and diminished in size. Additionally, concave lenses can form both real and virtual images depending on the object distance, while convex mirrors only produce virtual images.


Can convex mirrors produce real images?

No, convex mirrors cannot produce real images. They only produce virtual images.


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.


What is image called produced by convex lens?

The image produced by a convex lens is called a real image if it is formed by converging light rays that actually intersect, or a virtual image if it appears to be formed by diverging light rays that only appear to intersect when traced backward.


Is this statement false Lenses may be planar convex or concave?

The statement is false, because lenses can not be planar they must have a curve.


What are the Lens that can create a real or virtual image?

Lenses that can create a real image include converging lenses such as convex lenses. Lenses that can create a virtual image include diverging lenses such as concave lenses. The type of image formed depends on the focal length and the object distance from the lens.


Do convex lenses magnify sunlight?

No magnification, but only concentrating all the rays ie energy at a point.


What kind of mirror produce only virtual image?

Plane and convex mirrors produce only virtual images.


Can a convex form an image that is enlarged real and upright?

No, a convex mirror can only produce virtual images that are diminished and upright. The image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual and located behind the mirror.


What the difference between the virtual image created by a concave and plane and a convex mirror?

THough all are erect, in concave it will be enlarged in plane mirror of the same size as the object but in convex mirror it will be dimished


Five difference between a concave mirrors and convex mirrors?

Concave Vs Convex 1. Mercury coating will be made on the convex side but here on concave side. So reflecting portion would become concave and here convex 2. Both real and virtual images but only virtual images 3. Both diminished, enlarged and even same size images formed but only diminished. 4. Both inverted (real) and erect (virtual) images but only erect images. 5. Used as shaving mirror and in telescopes but used as rear view mirror
