DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REAL
AND VIRTUAL IMAGE
REAL
 inverted.
 can be projected onto a
screen.
 is inverted with the respect to
the object
 is on the same side of the
mirror as object
 can be larger, smaller, or the
same size as the object.
 rays of light actually converge
and pass through the image
VIRTUAL
 Upright
 Cannot be projected on the
screen
 The location of reflected
image is behind the mirror
 is formed by convex mirror
 can be smaller, or the same
size as the object.
 rays of light do not actually
pass through the image.
 cannot be formed on a screen.
 is inverted with the respect to
the object
 can be projected onto a
screen.
 is on the same side of the
mirror as object
 is formed by concave mirror
 can be larger, smaller, or the
same size as the object.
 rays of light actually converge
and pass through the image
 can be formed on a screen.
PLANE MIRROR
Forms images that are…..
 the same size as the object
only.
 The location is behind the
mirror
 always the same distance
from the mirror as the
object.
 have left to right reversal.
 only virtual.
 always upright
 is flat, smooth mirror.
CONCAVE MIRROR
Forms images that are…..
 either smaller/same
size/larger than the
object.
 either behind the mirror
or on the same side as
the object.
 either real or virtual.
 upright or inverted.
 is a curved mirror.
Forms images that
are…..
 always reduced.
 only virtual.
 always upright
 is a curved mirror.
CONVEX MIRROR
CONVEX LENS
In the convex lens…..
 the curve faces outward
 is a converging lens that
spreads out the light.
 is thicker at the center, as
compared to its edges.
 is use for correction of
farsightedness or hyperopia.
 is called positive lens
because of its positive focal
length nature.
CONCAVE LENS
In the concave lens…..
 the curve faces inward.
 is thinner at the center, as
compared to its edges.
 is use for correction of
nearsightedness or myopia.
 is a diverging lens which
converges the refracted rays.
 is called negative lens
because of its negative
focal length nature.
