Answers
A virtual image (as opposed to a real image) is produced by an optical system (a combination of lenses and/or mirrors) when light rays from a source do not cross to form an image. Instead they can be ‘traced back’ to a point behind the lens or mirror. Virtual images can be seen directly without using a screen for projection.
♣ VIRTUAL IMAGE
✍️ The image which can not be formed on waals or screens.
✍️It is an optical image formed from the apparent divergence of light rays from a point, as opposed to an image formed from their actual divergence.
✍️ The image appears to be located at the point of apparent divergence because the rays never really converge.
✍️ An example of Virtual image is the images formed in bathroom mirror.
✍️ The light rays reflect away from the mirrors and do not actually pass through the image of yourself.
✍️Virtual image is image where light rays only appear to cross but actually they do not pass through.
✍️ Yes virtual images can see because the lens of our eye converge the rays into a real image and projected on our retina. Hence, we can see virtual image.
