Hey !!
If a pressure larger than the osmotic pressure is applied to the solution side, the pure solvent (or water) flows out of the solution through the semipermeable membrane. In this way the direction of osmosis is reversed and so the process is called ''REVERSE OSMOSIS''
Thus, we can say that reverse osmosis is just opposite to the osmosis when an extra pressure is applied. Reverse osmosis is used in desalination to get pure water from sea water.
Hope it helps you !!
