Question

what is virtual and real image​

Answer 1

Answer:

A real image and a virtual image are different forms of image. The main difference between real and virtual images lies in the way in which they are produced. A real image is formed when rays converge, whereas a virtual image occurs where rays only appear to diverge.

Answer 2

A virtual image is a image that can be obtained on a screen. For example the image in a plane mirror is always a virtual image.

A real image is a image that can be obtained on a screen. For example images formed by spherical mirrors (concave or convex) are real images. They form images on a screen (inverted, upright, big or small)
