Study Notes
Image Formation and Diverging Rays
- Light rays passing through a lens can either converge or diverge depending on the lens type.
- When a sheet of paper is positioned to the right of a lens where rays are diverging, no image is formed on that side.
- Diverging rays do not meet to create a focused image, resulting in the absence of a real image projection.
- The scenario describes the behavior of a concave lens, which always produces virtual images that cannot be projected on a screen.
- The image formed in such cases is termed a "virtual image," as it appears to be located at a position from which the diverging rays seem to originate.
- Virtual images cannot be captured on a physical surface, such as a sheet of paper, since they are perceived through direct line of sight.
