1.Real image can be captured in the screen but Virtual image can not be captured in a screen.
2.Real image is always inverted but virtual image is always erect.
3.Light rays actually meet to form a real image but light rays do not meet in a virtual image

Answer 2

Real Image

Real images are produced by intersecting rays.

Real images can be projected on a screen

Real images are formed by two opposite lens, concave and convex.

Real images are always inverted

Real images are created when rays of light are converged by a convex lens also known as converging lens.

The image is formed on the right-hand side of the lens.

Virtual Image

The image that cannot be obtained on a screen is known as virtual image.

A virtual image is created when rays of light diverge from a concave lens.

A virtual image is formed on the left-hand side of the lens.

Virtual image are produced by diverging rays

Virtual image cannot be projected on screen

Virtual images are always upright while real images are always inverted.
