Question

Can we see virtual images?


Open in App
Solution

  1. Although virtual images cannot be projected onto a screen, they do have a size and location.
  2. The human eye is capable of seeing and imaging it. When divergent rays are projected backward and appear to intersect at a point, virtual pictures are created.
  3. The eye's biconvex lens converges the diverging rays that reach the eye, causing them to fall on the retina. Therefore, we can see virtual images with our eyes.
