The Difference Between Real Image and Virtual Image
Real Image
- An image formed on the front side of the mirror.
- To produce a real image the lenses used are of converging type.
- Real images are formed on the screen.
- An image formed is Actual.
- Real images are Inverted.
- Concave mirror and convex lens.
- Real Images can be obtained on the screen.
- A real image is formed by the actual meeting of rays after refraction.
Virtual Image
- Images are assumed to be formed at the backside of the mirror.
- In the formation of virtual images, there is the use of diverging lenses.
- Virtual images appear to get on the lens or the mirror itself.
- An image formed is Imaginary.
- Virtual images are Erect.
- Plane, convex mirror, and concave lens.
- Virtual Images cannot be obtained on the screen.
- By extending the refracted rays backward the formation of the Virtual image is done.
