Question

What is the difference between plane and vertual mirror? Explain.​

Answer 1

REAL IMAGE

- it is obtained when the rays of light after reflection or refraction actually meet at some point

- it can be obtained on screen

- it is always inverted

VIRTUAL IMAGE

- it is obtained when rays of light do not actually meet, but appear to meet when produced backwards

- it cannot be obtained on screen

- it is always erect.

Answer 2

Answer:

A real image is formed by the actual intersection of light rays whereas a virtual image is formed by the imaginary intersection of light rays.A real image is formed by only concave mirror however a virtual image can be formed by concave,convex and a plane mirror.
