    A real image is formed when light rays actually converge at a point after passing through a lens or reflecting off a mirror, whereas a virtual image is formed when light rays appear to diverge from a point but do not actually meet. The document asks prelab questions about the differences between real and virtual images, evaluating ray diagrams of lenses and mirrors, and calculating the location and side of an image formed by an object placed in front of a diverging lens.

    Lab 14- Thin Lenses & Curved Mirrors

    PRELAB QUESTIONS

    1. What is a real image versus a virtual image?

    2. Which of these ray diagrams is possibly correct and why?

    3. An object is 50 cm from a diverging lens with a focal length of –20 cm. How far from the
    lens is the image, and on which side of the lens is it?
