What is the definition of image in physics?
simply put an image is where the rays of light that you see ‘seem’ to be coming from after they have been reflected by a mirror or refracted by a lens when you draw a ray diagram the image is at the point of convergence of the reflected/refracted rays the rays of a ‘real’ image actually go through a point in space – such as the projected image by a lens on a movie theater screen the rays of a ‘virtual’ image seem to go through some impossible point – such as the image formed behind a plane mirror.
