What happens to the image formed by a camera if light rays do not meet at the right point?

A “virtual” image occurs when light rays do not actually meet at the image. Instead, you “see” the image because your eye projects light rays backward. A virtual image is right side up (upright).

How can you see a virtual image when it’s not really there?

Because the eye does not see the real rays bending at the lens, they perceive the rays as though they are coming from the point where they appear to cross. Consequently it “sees” the virtual image even though it isn’t really there.

When the rays do not actually meet we get a?

Answer:- If the reflected rays do not actually meet, such an image is called virtual image.

Do light rays actually pass through a virtual image?

Light does not actually pass through the virtual image location; it only appears to an observer as though the light was emanating from the virtual image location. The image formed by this concave mirror is a real image.

What term describes an image formed by light rays that do not actually pass through the image point?

An image formed when the light rays do not actually pass through the image location, and would not appear on paper or film placed at that location is referred to as a: virtual image.

Where do light rays only meet?

the p;onit where light rays meet is known as Focus or focal point.

When two light rays actually meet is called?

Explanation: A real image is formed when the rays of light after reflection or refraction actually meet at some point whereas a virtual image is formed when the rays of light after reflection or refraction appear to meet at a point.

What kind of light rays form a virtual image?

Images are seen in mirrors as the result of reflected light. The many light rays which originate at the object location reflect off the mirror and travel to each observer’s eye. If the light rays diverge (spread apart) after reflection, then the image is referred to as a virtual image.

Can be larger smaller or the same size as the object real or virtual?

6. Are all real images larger than the object? No. Real images can be larger than the object, smaller than the object, or the same size as the object.

Why are virtual images always upright?

Virtual images are always located behind the mirror. Virtual images can be either upright or inverted. Virtual images can be magnified in size, reduced in size or the same size as the object. Virtual images are not real; thus you could never see them when sighting in a mirror.
