One can determine if an image is real or virtual by examining details such as lighting, shadows, reflections, and perspective. Real images are typically captured by a camera and show natural imperfections, while virtual images may appear too perfect or have elements that are physically impossible.

How can one determine whether an image is real or virtual?
One can determine whether an image is real or virtual by examining details such as lighting, shadows, reflections, and inconsistencies in the image. Real images typically have more natural lighting and shadows, while virtual images may have perfect lighting and lack of shadows. Additionally, looking for any digital artifacts or inconsistencies in the image can also help differentiate between real and virtual images.
does a plane mirror produces a real image?
"Real" and "virtual" are two opposite, mutually exclusive categories of images. An image is either one or the other, and no image can be both. The image produced by a plane mirror is a virtual one.
Can a plane mirror form a real image if the object is virtual?
No, a plane mirror will always produce a virtual image regardless of whether the object is real or virtual. The image appears to be behind the mirror and is not a real image that can be projected onto a screen.
Pictures of real image formed by plane mirror?
A real image is not formed by a plane mirror, as it only produces virtual images. Virtual images appear to be behind the mirror, and you can't project them onto a screen. When you look into a mirror, you see the virtual image of yourself that appears to be the same distance behind the mirror as you are in front of it.
What is the difference between real and virtual image?
A real image is formed when light rays actually converge at a specific point, while a virtual image is formed when light rays appear to diverge from a point but do not actually pass through that point. Real images can be projected onto a screen, while virtual images cannot.
