Topics covered - 4
• real and virtual images�
• image due to reflection: plane mirror�
• image due to refraction: mirage, rainbow, sun columns�
Image formation: mirrors & mirages�
virtual image
• The virtual image is in the same place regardless of the loca3on of the viewer
• The image is called virtual because no real rays reach the image, and it cannot be seen by pu:ng a screen at its posi3on
object
