Question

Which of the following is true about real images?

• A. They are formed when reflected rays appear to meet at a point.
• B. They are formed when reflected rays actually meet at a point.
• C. They are formed when reflected rays diverge after reflection.
• D. They cannot be obtained on the screen.

Answer 1

The correct option is B They are formed when reflected rays actually meet at a point.

Real images are formed only when reflected rays meet at a point. To meet at a point the light rays must converge after reflection. They can be obtained on a screen by placing a screen at that point.
