  1. optics - Virtual vs Real image - Physics Stack Exchange

    A virtual image occurs the object is less than the focal length of the lens from the lens, and a real image occurs when an object is further than focal length. By why virtual and real?

  2. optics - Why we can see virtual image? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Mar 29, 2017 · This image is akin to the image which we can draw on the page by projecting the diverging rays backwards. In both the above pictures, the diverging rays are brought to focus by the …

  3. optics - Intuitively understanding virtual images in a multi- (thin ...

    May 29, 2024 · Intuitively understanding virtual images in a multi- (thin)lens system Ask Question Asked 1 year, 7 months ago Modified 1 year, 7 months ago

  4. How to think about virtual images? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Mar 16, 2020 · With virtual images, you don't usually have this problem with focusing because the image is, by definition, on the other side of the lens. You rarely put your eye that close to the lens and the …

  5. conceptual meaning of "virtual image" - Physics Stack Exchange

    I am trying to learn about optics and I am having a hard time understanding the meaning of "real" vs "virtual" image. My understanding is that for a concave mirror, the image focuses on the same s...

  6. What is the difference between virtual object and virtual image ...

    The idea which helped me to differentiate between them is as follows: Image is a point of intersection of reflected/refracted rays. They might actually intersect (real image) or one might have to geometrically …

  7. What is exactly an ‘virtual object’? (From the point of view of lens ...

    The virtual image for Interface 2 here actually means, that the image would have been there if the second interface did not alter the path of light. But due to interface 2, the position of (would have …

  8. optics - A virtual image may be observed directly or may serve as a ...

    Feb 12, 2020 · This type of image is called a virtual image to distinguish it from the type of image diagramed in Fig. 1.8, which is called a real image. Thus a virtual image may be observed directly or …

  9. Why does a converging lens create an upside down virtual image with …

    Sep 30, 2020 · It's a virtual image because I can see an upside-down smile appearing as if it is coming from the other side of the lens, just like how I can see a virtual, magnified image of the source if I …

  10. Measuring image distance of a virtual image - Physics Stack Exchange

    May 21, 2015 · 2 How to a measure image distance of a virtual image without calculation? It is impossible? To measure it, we must have a real image to measure the image distance with a screen …
