Question

Can a virtual image be obtained on the screen?

Answer 1

Virtual image:

1. We know that rays must meet on the screen to produce an appearance on the screen.
2. But a virtual image is created by rays that do not meet.
3. As a result, obtaining a virtual image on the screen is impossible.
4. When light rays do not cross to form an image, an optical system produces a virtual image.
5. The real image is formed behind the lens, and the virtual image is formed in front of the lens.
6. Flat or plane mirrors provide the most common virtual pictures.

As an outcome, a virtual image cannot be displayed on a screen.
