Question

It is said that when an object is placed in front of a convex lens between its focus and pole, the image formed is large, virtual and erect. So when we use a magnifying glass, do we actually see the image formed of the object we look at through the magnifying glass? Similarly, when we see an object through a concave lens, do we see the virtual image formed of the object?

Answer 1

Real image: It is the image which can be caught on the screen.

Virtual image: It is the image which can't be caught on the screen.

Yes, it is possible to see both kind of images actually.

Real image can seen as well as caught on the screen, where as virtual image can be seen only, but can't be caught on the screen.
