• Real Image
• Fake Image
• Virtual Image
• Digital Image

a real image...

• is produced by virtual rays and can be projected on a screen
• is produced by real rays and cannot be projected on a screen
• is produced by virtual images and cannot be projected on a screen
• is produced by real rays and can be projected on a screen

What is an image called that forms when light rays actually meet

• virtual image
• real image
• diffuse reflection
• regular reflection

What kind of mirror is shown here?

• plane
• concave
• convex
• diffuse

Concave mirrors can create virtual and real images.

• True
• False

An incident ray that is parallel to the principal axis of a curved mirror...

• will reflect parallel to the principal axis
• will reflect through the focal point
• will reflect through the center of curvature
• will continue along the same path through the lens

Convex mirrors can produce...

• Real, erect images
• Virtual, erect images
• Real, inverted images
• no images form
