Question

explain virtual image
​

Answer 1

an optical image formed from the apparent divergence of light rays from a point, as opposed to an image formed from their actual divergence

In optics, an image is defined as the collection of focus points of light rays coming from an object. A real image is the collection of focus points actually made by converging rays, while a virtual image is the collection of focus points made by extensions of diverging rays

Answer 2

Answer:

In optics, a virtual image is an image formed when the outgoing rays from an object always diverge (move apart). A plane mirror forms a virtual image positioned behind the mirror. ... Real images can be projected onto a diffuse reflecting screen, but a screen is not necessary for the image to form.
