  2. Virtual image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_image

    In optics, the image of an object is defined as the collection of focus points of light rays coming from the object. A real image is the collection of focus points made by converging rays, while a virtual image is the collection of focus points made by backward extensions of diverging rays. In other words, a virtual image is found by tracing ...

  3. Real image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_image

    A real image is the collection of focus points actually made by converging/diverging rays, while a virtual image is the collection of focus points made by extensions of diverging or converging rays. In other words, a real image is an image which is located in the plane of convergence for the light rays that originate from a given object.

  4. Virtuality (philosophy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtuality_(philosophy)

    Deleuze used the term virtual to refer to an aspect of reality that is ideal, but nonetheless real. An example of this is the meaning, or sense, of a proposition that is not a material aspect of that proposition (whether written or spoken) but is nonetheless an attribute of that proposition. [2] In Bergsonism, Deleuze writes that "virtual" is ...

  5. Mirror image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_image

    In geometry, the mirror image of an object or two-dimensional figure is the virtual image formed by reflection in a plane mirror; it is of the same size as the original object, yet different, unless the object or figure has reflection symmetry (also known as a P-symmetry). Two-dimensional mirror images can be seen in the reflections of mirrors ...

  6. Plane mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_mirror

    The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual (meaning that the light rays do not actually come from the image) it is not real image (meaning that the light rays do actually come from the image). it is always upright, and of the same shape and size as the object it is reflecting. A virtual image is a copy of an object formed at the location ...

Conversing lens Diverging lens y o: The height of an object from the optical axis. Erect object Inverted object y i: The height of an image from the optical axis Erect image Inverted image M T

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_thinking

    Visual thinking, also called visual or spatial learning or picture thinking, is the phenomenon of thinking through visual processing. [1] Visual thinking has been described as seeing words as a series of pictures. [2][3] It is common in approximately 60–65% of the general population. [1] ". Real picture thinkers", those who use visual ...

    Virtual photography is a form of new media art where images are created by taking screenshots of video games or other virtual worlds. Virtual photography has been featured in physical art galleries around the world. The validity and legality of this art form is sometimes questioned, because virtual photographers are taking photos of artwork ...
