Which of these are characteristics of virtual images? Select one or more: a. Virtual images formed by single lenses or mirrors are always inverted. b. Light rays go through virtual images. c. Virtual images formed by single lenses or mirrors are always upright. d. Light rays do not go through virtual images.
Applications Of Reflection Of Light
When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.
Sign Convention for Mirrors
A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.
Image formation is an art of an physics in which object can be seen by the sight along a line at that particular object.
Now image formation can be real or virtual as per point of reference.
We will validate the characteristics of virtual images but firstly knowing theory of LOST.
In this theory "L" represents location of mirror or lenses.
"O" represents orientation which is either upright or inverted for mirror or lenses.
"S" represents size of an object which could be either magnified, reduced or of same size.
Finally "T" represents type of Image which could be either real or inverted.
