Question
Solution
| Real image | Virtual image | |
| 1. | When the rays of light diverging from a point after reflection or refraction actually converge at some point, then that point is the real image of the object. | When the rays of light diverging from a point after reflection or refraction appear to diverge from some other point. |
| 2. | A real image is always inverted and can be taken on the screen. | A virtual image is always erect and cannot be taken on the screen. |
| 3. | A real image is formed by eye, photographic camera, convex lens except when the object is very close to a concave mirror. |
A virtual image is formed by a plane mirror, a convex mirror and a concave lens. |
