Real image and Virtual image

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Definition of Real Image**: - A real image is formed when light rays converge and actually intersect at a point after being reflected or refracted by a mirror or lens. 2. **Characteristics of Real Image**: - **Inversion**: A real image is always inverted (upside down) compared to the object. - **Screen Projection**: A real image can be projected onto a screen because the light rays physically meet at a point. ...
