A real image :

  1. cannot be captured on a screen

  2. can be captured on a screen

  3. can be captured only on a celluloid screen

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Real image can be captured on a screen.

If image is formed behind the mirror, it is:

  1. real and inverted

  2. virtual and erect

  3. virtual and inverted

  4. real and erect


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

If the reflected rays are extended behind the mirror, then their intersection gives the location of the image behind the mirror. For a convex mirror, the image is diverging, virtual and upright and is formed behind the mirror. 
Hence, if image is formed behind the mirror, it is virtual and erect.

The image of our face in a plane mirror is :

  1. real

  2. magnified

  3. diminished

  4. virtual


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

For a plane mirror the image formed is behind the mirror, so by definition its virtual

A real image is formed where two or more :

  1. reflected rays meet

  2. refracted rays meet

  3. reflected rays appear to meet

  4. refracted rays appear to meet


Correct Option: A,B
Explanation:

For a real image to be formed, two light rays have to actually intersect by definition.

Is it possible to photograph a virtual image?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Sometimes

  4. Yes, provided that object is virtual


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Virtual objects can be captured or photographed as the rays appears to originate from it.

The image of an object which cannot be obtained on a screen is called-

  1. Enlarged image

  2. Real image

  3. Virtual image

  4. Inverted image


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
$ \bf{Real\ Images}$ are images which can be obtained on the screen. They are formed when light rays after getting reflected from a mirror actually meet at a point. 
A real image is inverted with respect to the object.

$ \bf{Virtual\ Images} $ are images which can be only be seen in a mirror bur cannot be obtained on the screen. They are formed when light rays after getting reflected from a mirror appear to meet at a point. A virtual image is erect with respect to the object.

Thus, real and inverted image can be obtained on the screen. Also, depending upon the optical instrument used, the real and inverted image can be enlarged or diminished implying that real, inverted and enlarged images are obtainable on screen.  

Hence, the correct answer is OPTION C.

The image formed by a plane mirror is -

  1. virtual

  2. inverted

  3. diminished

  4. magnified


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A plane mirror always forms an image which is virtual in nature (meaning that light rays meet behind the mirror or that light rays do not actually come from the image), erect and of the same shape and size as that of the object it is reflecting.
Hence, the correct answer is OPTION A. 

An image which can be only seen by the eye but cannot be taken on a screen is called a ________ .

  1. virtual image

  2. real image

  3. artificial image

  4. shadow


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Virtual images cannot be taken on screen as they are not formed by actual intersection of light rays.

Pick the odd one out of these :

Real image, virtual image, inverted image, diminished image

  1. Virtual image

  2. real image

  3. inverted image

  4. diminished image

Diminished image is odd one out as it is related to size.

Name : The image which cannot be obtained on the screen 

  1. Virtual image

  2. Erect Image

  3. Real Image 

  4. Inverted Image 


Correct Option: A,B
Explanation:

since we know that for an image to be obtained on screen rays should intersect on the screen but virtual image is formed by no actual meeting of rays hence it is not possible to be obtained on screen. we can observe from all the virtual images formed, they are always errect.

What is the basic difference between a real image and a virtual image ?

  1. Real image are the image that can be obtained on a screen whereas virtual image cannot be obtained on the screen

  2. Virtual image can be obtained on a screen while real images cannot be obtained on a screen

  3. Virtual images are formed only in refraction not in reflection while real image can be formed in both

  4. Virtual images are formed only in reflection while real image are also only found in refraction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Virtual image are the images that can be obtained on screen while real images can't be obtained on a screen. This is basic difference between real and virtual image.

In rear view mirrors, convex mirrors are used. They form virtual and erect images.

A movie projector forms real images. Why is it not inverted?

  1. Real images are erect in nature.

  2. Final image is formed using virtual image.

  3. Multiple mirrors are used

  4. Films are inverted


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A movie projector uses two mirrors. First is used to concentrate light source and second is used to focus the images on the screen. Since images are inverted twice, final images are erect. 

Real image can be obtained on a screen.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The given statement is true that we can  obtain the real image on the screen but not the virtual image.

Virtual image cannot be caught on a screen.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Only real image can be obtained on screen but not the virtual image. So the given statement is true.

Virtual image can be caught on a screen.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

For any image to be formed on a screen we need to have actual rays intersecting on the screen. Hence only real image can be taken on a screen.

A virtual image larger than the object can be produced by a

  1. Concave lens

  2. Concave mirror

  3. Convex mirror

  4. Plane mirror


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A $ \bf{concave\ lens} $ always produces virtual, erect and diminished images and the decrease in the size of the image depends on the position of the object.

$ \bf{Concave\ mirrors} $ produce real and virtual, erect and inverted, diminished same sized and magnified image depending upon the position of the object on the principal axis. But the concave mirror forms a virtual and enlarged image when the object is placed between the Focus and the pole of the mirror.

$ \bf{Convex\ mirrors} $ always produce a virtual, erect and diminished image and the decrease in size of image depends on the position of the object in front of the mirror.


$ \bf{Plane\ Mirrors} $ always produce a virtual and erect image having the same size as that of the object irrespective of the position of object.

Hence, the correct answer is OPTION B. 

Name the type of image which can not be obtained on a screen

  1. Real

  2. Virtual

  3. Diverging

  4. Converging


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
$ \bf{Real\ Images}$ are images which can be obtained on the screen. They are formed when light rays after getting reflected from a mirror actually meet at a point.

$ \bf{Virtual\ Images} $ are images which can only be seen in a mirror but cannot be obtained on the screen. They are formed when light rays after getting reflected from a mirror appear to meet at a point. 

There are no types of images as diverging and converging images.

Hence, the correct answer is OPTION B.

The image formed by a convex mirror of a real object is

  1. virtual and erect

  2. virtual and inverted

  3. real and erect

  4. real and inverted


Correct Option: A

A driving mirror on a car is never concave because :

  1. its field of view is too small.

  2. the image would be inverted.

  3. the image would be virtual and therefore useless for the driver.

  4. only a plane mirror forms true images.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Concave mirrors form an real and inverted image due to which the objects would appear to be inverted,hence are not taken into use for vehicles . And also conave mirrors cover a much lesser field of view

An arrow is placed at a distance of 25 cm from a diverging mirror of focal length 20 cm. Find the image distance.

  1. $12.1 cm$

  2. $13.1 cm$

  3. $11.1 cm$

  4. $14.2 cm$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given,

$u=-25cm$
$f=+20cm$
$v=?$
From mirror formula,
$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}$

$\dfrac{1}{20}=\dfrac{1}{-25}+\dfrac{1}{v}$

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{9}{100}$

$v=\dfrac{100}{9}cm$

$v=11.1cm$
The correct option is C.

A fish is near the centre of a spherical water filled fish bowl. A child standard 2R (R is radius of curvature of the sphere) from the centre of the bowl. The centre would the child's noe appear to the fish situated at the centre?

  1. 4R

  2. 2R

  3. 3R

  4. R


Correct Option: A

Choose the correct options.

  1. If the incident rays are converging, we have a real object.

  2. If the final ray are converging, we have a real image.

  3. The image of a virtual object is called a virtual image.

  4. If the image is virtual, the corresponding object is called a virtual object.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Lets go option wise:
A. If the incident rays are converging, that means they are from virtual object very far away. If rays are from a real object, they will be diverging. Hence Option A is wrong. 
B. If final rays are converging, they will definitely intersect and we will have a formation of a virtual image. Hence Option B is correct.
Option C & D are absurd.

A virtual image is

  1. always magnified

  2. always erect

  3. always caught on a screen

  4. uncapturable on a screen


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Virtual images cannot be captured on a screen.

A virtual Image cannot be taken on the screen. 

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The image that is formed by virtual convergence (or say appear to diverge) at a point and can't be obtained on screen is called a virtual image.


And, the image formed by real convergence of rays and can be obtained on screen are called real image.

Given statement is $True$.

Real images are always ......................

  1. Erect

  2. Smaller is size

  3. Inverted

  4. Large in size


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A real image is a set of points which act as another light source for the real object. It’s like a real replica of the object as far as the optics is concerned. So a real image is only formed when rays from different points on the object meet each other (converge).

Since rays are only converged by a concave mirror or a convex lens towards their center, rays can only meet below the X-axis if the object is above the X-axis, hence real image is formed inverted in all planes with respect to the object.

So the image is always inverted.

Consider the following statements :
A real image
1. can be formed on a screen
2. is always magnified and inverted
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

  1. 1 only

  2. 2 only

  3. Both 1 and 2

  4. Neither 1 nor 2


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

If the image is real then the light will actually converge to form it. 

Hence it can be obtained on a screen.
Hence 1 is true.

If object is at infinity for a concave mirror then it forms a diminished and real image of the object. Hence 2 is false

Which of the following can produce a virtual image for any position of the object?

  1. Plane mirror

  2. Concave mirror

  3. Convex lens

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
