Difference Between Real Image And Virtual Image

 5 Differences Between Real Image And Virtual Image

S.NO.	Real Image	Virtual Image
1.	A real image is an image that is actually formed by the convergence of light rays.	A virtual image is an image that is produced by the apparent divergence of light rays.
2.	Real images can be projected onto a screen or other surface.	Virtual images cannot be projected and can only be viewed by looking at the location where the light rays appear to originate.
3.	Real images are located at the position where the light rays actually converge.	Virtual images are located at the position where the light rays appear to originate.
4.	Real images can be seen by looking directly at the location where the light rays converge.	Virtual images can only be seen by looking in the direction of the light rays.
5.	Real images are inverted, meaning that objects in the real image appear upside-down compared to their actual orientation.	Virtual images are not inverted and appear the same as the objects that produced them.
