Feb 12, 2020 at 17:35 comment added The Pointer Yes, that's what I meant.
Feb 12, 2020 at 17:24 comment added BioPhysicist @ThePointer Kind of. If by "actual image" you mean a real image, then yes. The key point though is that light only diverges away from a virtual image, so there is no point in space where you could put something that the light converges at in order to capture an image.
Feb 12, 2020 at 4:45 comment added The Pointer Ahh, ok, I understand now. So the virtual image is more similar to the object than it is to an actual image, in the sense that you cannot image it onto a screen, as you can the actual image, but it acts as the object in a different location (at the location of the virtual image). Am I understanding it correctly?
