A real image is when the light rays form an image that is on the same side as the object that is being reflected. Meanwhile a virtual image is when the light rays appear to form an image. The real image will appear through the lens and be reflected on the other side while the virtual image will appear in the lens itself and will only reflect a blurry image through the lens. In a diagram, a real image is the solid lines, while the virtual image is represented by dashed lines. Both types are the effect of light being reflected off of or through a mirror or a lens.

∙ 11y agoReal images can be captured on a screen. They are created by converging light rays, and always appear upside-down.
Virtual images cannot be captured on a screen, because they are only formed by light rays APPEARING to have come from the same place. They also always appear right-side up.

Interpreting similarities between rational and irrational numbers?
They Are Both Real Numbers.
What are some similarities between the US and Egyptian governments?
There are very few similarities between the governments of Egypt and the United States. The only real similarities are that both countries have a large bureaucracy and the leader is called the President.
What is augmented reality?
Augmented reality is a mix between virtual objects created with a computer and the world around real, so that this information is amplified.
What is the relationship between the type and the attitude of an image?
the relationship is that in order to have an image u have to have a special type of attituede like nice and sweet also it ddepends on the type of person and there attitude ^^^ Don't listen to this whatsoever. Now, the attitude of the image describes whether the image is upright or inverted, correct? And the type of image is real or virtual. Now, the relationship between the two is the same for all types of mirrors/lenses. With concave mirrors, when the image is real then it is inverted, whereas when it's virtual it is upright. With convex mirrors when the image is virtual it is also upright, and although I haven't seen a real image on convex mirror ray diagrams, theoretically if the image was real it would be inverted. With a diverging lens if the image is virtual it is upright and as with the convex lens although I have never seen a real image on a ray diagram for a diverging lens it would theoretically be inverted. Finally, with a converging lens if the image is real then it's inverted and if it's virtual it is upright. So, the relationship between attitude and image is this: If the type of image is real, the attitude of the image is inverted. If the type of image is virtual, the attitude of the image is upright.
What are the similarities between model and real volcano?
There are volcanoes underwater. Like Surtsey an underwater volcanoes that is turning into an island right now.
What is the difference between converging lens and diverging lens?
converging lens show virtual and real images while diverging shows virtual images.
How far are images shown in a mirror?
they are equidistant between the real and virtual image
Differentiate real image from virtual image?
Real images can be obtained on the screen,whereas virtual images can't be obtained on the screen
Which types of images are produced by concave?
real and virtual images
What types of images are produced by concave mirrors?
Virtual and real images
What kind of images does a convex lens produce?
Convex lenses form real images and concave lenses form virtual images. But there is one case in which convex lens also forms virtual images. This is when object is placed between Principal Focus "F" and Optical Centre "O"
