Explanation:

Difference Between Real Image and Virtual Image

To obtain a real image the light source and the screen must be placed on the same plane. The image is obtained by using a converging lens or a concave mirror. The size of the image depends upon the placement of the object.

The virtual image, on the other hand, is an upright image that can be achieved where the rays seem to diverge but do not converge in reality. This image can be produced with the help of a diverging lens or a convex mirror.

Difference Between Real Image and Virtual Image

Real Image Virtual Image

Real images are inverted Virtual images are erect

Convex lenses form a real image Concave lenses form a virtual image

Real images are formed on the screen Virtual images appear to be on the lens or the mirror itself

Real images are formed by a concave mirror Plane, convex mirror and concave lens forms a virtual image

Real images are formed due to the actual intersection of light rays Virtual images are formed due to the imaginary intersection of light rays

Therefore, we can say that the difference between real and virtual images is that the real image can be obtained on the screen whereas the virtual image cannot be obtained on the screen.

Answer 2

Answer:

Difference Between Real Image and Virtual Image

Real Image:

• Real images are inverted.
• Convex lenses form a real image.
• Real images are formed on the screen.
• Real images are formed by a concave mirror.
• Real images are formed due to the actual intersection of light rays.

Virtual image

• Virtual images are erect.
• Concave lenses form a virtual image
• Virtual images appear to be on the lens or the mirror itself.
• Plane, convex mirror and concave lens form a virtual image
• Virtual images are formed due to the imaginary intersection of light rays
