Open in App
Solution

Virtual Image

After reflection off the mirror, the light rays seem to meet at a certain location, forming a virtual image.

Erect Image

  1. A right-side-up image is called an erect image. The real meeting of rays produces an erect image. It's an image with the same directions as the item.
  2. In optics, an erect image is one that appears to be upright.
  3. When both rays intersect one other at a specific location, an erect image is created.
