Real img is when u r able to c the object u r focussing on, on a wall or a screen....well u must hav done it in ur pracs...

Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory.

A Real Image is that which is formed by actual intersection of Incident and reflected rays of light and it can be obtained on a screen........

e real image is that image which can be captured on a screen...for example if u take a concave mirror and show a distant object to it and if we know its rough focal length then we will get the image at its focus by placing a screen there....the image will be inverted

a plane mirror always forms a virtual image of a real object
as the light rays appear to intersect
they never really intersect because they get reflected from the mirror
as for convex mirror u can know from the ray diagrams that the rays again never really intersect
they appear to intersect...........
