Because the real image is consists of light that started at the object and got focused

by passing through the lens. That route pretty much guarantees that the real image

is going to show up behind the lens.

Can not form virtual image?

A virtual image is formed when diverging rays appear to converge at a point behind the mirror or lens. If the rays do not actually converge, a virtual image cannot be formed. This can happen with concave mirrors for objects placed within the focal point, or with diverging lenses.


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.


What are the characteristics of a virtual image?

A virtual image is formed when light rays appear to diverge from a point behind the reflecting or refracting surface. It cannot be projected onto a screen and is always upright relative to the object. Additionally, virtual images are formed by concave mirrors and diverging lenses.


What is the characteristic of inverted image?

An inverted image is formed when light rays intersect each other at a location in front of or behind the lens, resulting in the image being flipped upside down compared to the object. This commonly occurs in concave lenses and convex mirrors.


Can you obtain the image of an object formed by a convex mirror on a screen?

nope. bcoz the image is formed behind the mirror.


The nature of the final image formed by a compound microscope?

The principle of image formation in a compound microscope states that the second lens magnifies the image formed by the first lens. The use of two lenses enhances the magnification of the image.


What lens could correct the image formed of a nearsighted person?

concave lenses are prescribed by doctors


Where does a virtual image appear in front or behind a mirror?

A virtual image appears behind the mirror. It is not a real image formed by light rays converging at a point but is instead an apparent image that appears to be behind the mirror.


What kind of image is not formed by real light rays?

A virtual image is not formed by real light rays. Instead, it appears to be located at a position where the light rays do not actually converge. This type of image is commonly seen in mirrors and lenses.


Why is real image not formed by concave lens?

A real image is not formed by a concave lens because the light rays passing through a concave lens diverge, rather than converge, making it unable to form a real image. Concave lenses only produce virtual images where the rays appear to diverge from a point behind the lens when extended backwards.


Are concave lenses converging or diverging?

Concave lenses are diverging lenses. They cause light rays to spread out as if they were coming from a point behind the lens, resulting in the formation of a virtual image that appears smaller than the object.


The image formed by a convex mirror?

The image formed by the convex mirror is virtual, erect and diminished.
