Question

In what condition, the image formed by concave mirror is virtual?

Answer 1

Answer:

• A “concave mirror” will produce a ‘virtual image’ only, if the object is “located in the front” of focal point.
• The ‘virtual images’ are formed by “plane mirrors and convex mirrors”. But concave mirror can only produce a real image.
• A ‘virtual image in optics is an image that is formed when the ‘outgoing rays’ always diverge from a Object point.
• The picture at the point of obvious divergence appears to be situated.
• Since the rays really never converge, it is not possible to “project a virtual image” onto a screen.
