Question

Name: The image which cannot be obtained on the screen:
[ this question has multiple correct options]
(A)Virtual image
(B)Erect image
(C)Real image
(D)Inverted image

Answer 1

Hint:The definitions of the virtual image and the real image have to be known. Also, the patterns of these image-formations are needed to be concluded to know about the erect image and inverted image. The erect image means the image appears right-side up i.e. the direction is the same as that of the object. The inverted image means the oppositely directed image of an object.

Complete step-by-step solution:
The virtual image is formed by the extended diverging rays coming from an object after reflections or refractions. This idea of extension basically comes from an apparent concept. That’s why this image can’t be obtained on the screen but can be seen. Generally, the virtual image is formed behind the mirror and it always appears right side up which means it has a direction similar to the direction of the object. This type of image is known as erect image.
The real image is formed by the converging light rays coming from an object after reflections or refractions. This can be seen as well as obtained on the screen and is formed in front of the mirror.
Option (A) and option (B) are correct.

Note:The real image can be created through the concave mirror and convex lens. The virtual image can be created through the plane mirror, the convex mirror.
Examples of real images are photos created through cameras, photos of the screen of the movies, etc. The examples of the virtual image are our images that formed in a plane mirror, the images of the trees shown in the ponds, mirages, etc.
