Characteristics of Images
Question

An image, that is not produced by light rays coming from the object, but is the result of our brain's interpretations, is called:
  1. a real image
  2. an imaginary image
  3. a virtual image
  4. nothing as no such image is ever produced

A

D
a virtual image

According to definition, when a beam of light appears to meet at a point after reflection from a mirror then the image formed is known as a virtual image. This image is merely our brain's interpretation as the reflected rays do not actually intersect to form the image.

Mark the correct options.
(a) If the incident rays are converging, we have a real object.
(b) If the final rays are converging, we have a real image.
(c) The image of a virtual object is called a virtual image.

Q3
Use the mirror equation to deduce that:
(a) an object placed between f and 2f of a concave mirror produces a real image beyond 2f.
(b) a convex mirror always produces a virtual image independent of the location of the object.
(c) the virtual image produced by a convex mirror is always diminished in size and is located between the focus and the pole.
(d) an object placed between the pole and focus of a concave mirror produces a virtual and enlarged image.
[Note: This exercise helps you deduce algebraically properties of images that one obtains from explicit ray diagrams.]
