What is the difference between virtual and real image?
Can you explain to me the difference between virtual and real image?
Sure, I'd be happy to help! A real image is formed when light rays physically converge, such as on a piece of film or a retina. A virtual image, on the other hand, appears to be located at a distance behind a mirror or lens and can only be seen by looking through that lens or mirror.
