Question

difference between virtual and real image​

Answer 1

Answer:

A real image and a virtual image are different forms of image. The main difference between real and virtual images lies in the way in which they are produced. A real image is formed when rays converge, whereas a virtual image occurs where rays only appear to diverge.

Answer 2

$\textbf{Answer:-}$

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.

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.
