Which of the following is true about real images?

They are formed when reflected rays actually meet at a point.

They are formed when reflected rays appear to meet at a point.

They are formed when reflected rays diverge after reflection.

They are formed when reflected rays and incident rays are parallel to each other.

Solution

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.
