Real and Virtual Images
Real and Virtual Images
When we look into a mirror, we see exactly a reflection of our face, hence known as image of our face. In this case, our face is the object and what we see in the mirror is its image. The image of our face appears to be situated behind the mirror. There are two types of images
Real Image:
The images that can be formed on the screen are called real images. They are formed by actual intersection of light rays. When the light coming from an object actually meet at a point after reflection form the mirror, then it results in the formation of a real image. A real image is formed when rays converge.
Virtual Image:
The images that cannot be taken on the screen are called virtual images. They are formed by the apparent intersection of light rays. When the light rays coming from an object appear to meet after reflection from the mirror, then it results in the formation of virtual image. It is not possible to form a virtual image on the screen because light rays actually do not pass the screen or cannot be received on a screen. a virtual image occurs where rays only appear to diverge.
