state the difference between real image and virtual image
Answers
Answer:
The image formed when rays of light meet at a point after reflection/refraction is called real image. The image formed when rays of light appear to meet (when diverging rays are extended) at a point is called a virtual image.
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.
