It is not always so. Read a little about interference. Specifically, when two light waves meet, they can reinforce each other, making a stronger wave (brighter, in the case of light), or cancel each other, producing darkness in the case of light. The same happens with other types of waves too. It all depends on the phase; the "disturbances" caused by the individual waves are simply added up (algebraically).

Can parallel rays of light meet?

If passed through a convex lense, then yes the parallel rays will meet.


How are real and virtual images produced?

Real images are produced by converging lenses when light rays actually converge at a point to form an image. Virtual images are produced by diverging lenses when light rays appear to converge at a point, but do not actually meet, resulting in an image that cannot be projected onto a screen.


An image that is formed when light rays meet is called?

An image that is formed when light rays meet is called a real image. This type of image is formed when light rays converge to a point either on a screen or a surface.


What are light rays that never meet?

Light rays that never meet are called parallel rays. These rays travel in the same direction without intersecting or converging at any point. This property makes them useful in physics and optics for analyzing how light behaves.


What is virtual and real image?

A virtual image is formed when rays of light do not actually converge at the location of the image. It appears to be located behind the mirror or lens from which the rays of light are reflecting. A real image is formed when rays of light actually converge at the location of the image, making it possible to project it onto a screen.


What image is formedwhen light rays meet?

When light rays meet, an image is formed where the rays converge or intersect. This can result in a real or virtual image, depending on the type of optical system involved.


What are the rays that are produced by the sunlight?

Rays that come from the sun are Ultraviolet rays (UV). You also get light rays and heat waves.


Which one of the following is the location where light rays meet after reflecting from a concave mirror?

The location where light rays meet after reflecting from a concave mirror is called the focal point.


What is the name of the Image formed when light rays actually meet?

The image formed when light rays actually meet is called a real image. This type of image can be projected onto a screen and is formed when the rays of light actually converge at a point.


What do you call light rays which are moving towards each other?

Converging light rays are light rays that are moving towards each other and eventually meet at a single point.
