Subject: Virtual and Real Images
Hello all
No matter how I try to explain it to my students, I can't
seem to get across the differences between a real and virtual image.
I told them that a real image could be formed on a screen, a
virtual could not. A real image is where light converges.
There is no convergences of light rays at a virtual image.
They are still confused and I am at a loss.
Ideas? Thanks
