Sep 28, 2007 · Hi, So, I'm confused about the difference between real and virtual images. Let's use a concave mirror for example. I understand that a real image is formed when the actual …

Jan 19, 2010 · A real image is one like you would see on a screen with a projector. The light rays strike the screen and form an image. This happens with some lenses and some mirrors. The …

Feb 24, 2013 · I cannot seem to get the concept of real and virtual image. This is my understanding. If the light beams go to the reflecting surface (concave or convex...

Mar 5, 2005 · The distinction between virtual and real images lies in the actual convergence of light rays, with virtual images lacking this physical convergence. Ultimately, virtual images …

Jun 22, 2018 · I do know the difference between real and virtual images. I would like to know the difference between real and virtual objects. I need some examples. See...

Oct 24, 2010 · This discussion centers on the confusion surrounding magnification signs in optics, specifically when dealing with converging and diverging lenses. Key conclusions include that …

Jul 11, 2005 · Concave mirrors can produce both real and virtual images due to their ability to converge light rays, while convex mirrors only create virtual images because they diverge light …

Jan 24, 2011 · In convergent and divergent lenses, an object is considered real if light rays actually converge and originate from a point, typically on the left side of the lens. Conversely, …

Oct 21, 2005 · Is there an easy way to remember what kind of images will be formed from converging/diverging lens depending on where you place the object relative to the focus? For …

Jul 17, 2010 · The forum participants clarify that the sign conventions depend on whether the image is real or virtual, with virtual images yielding negative values for di and M. The formulas …
