Virtual Image
Definition
A virtual image is defined as the opposite of a real image, therefore an image that cannot be obtained on a screen is referred to as a virtual image. The explanation for this is the fact that the rays of light that form a virtual image never converge therefore a virtual image can never be projected onto a screen. The best example of a virtual image is your reflection in the mirror.
Formation:
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.
Lens description:
As expected, a concave lens has opposite characteristics to a convex lens. It is also known as a negative lens. This lens is thin on the middle surface and thick on the outer edges. Unlike a convex lens, a concave one will diverge the rays of light
Position:
A virtual image is always upright.
