Question
Explain why, a real image can be projected on a screen but a virtual image cannot.
✓
Answer
A real image can be projected on a screen but a virtual image cannot because a real image is formed when light rays coming from an object actually meet at a point after refraction through a lens while a virtual image is formed when light rays coming from an object only appear to meet at a point when produced backwards (but do not actually meet) after refraction through a lens.
