a. Yes, virtual images can be seen directly.
b. No, virtual images are only seen through optical devices.
c. Yes, virtual images can be seen indirectly through reflections.
d. No, virtual images are only conceptual and not observable.

Answer 1

Virtual images can be seen indirectly through reflections and can be photographed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Virtual images are formed when light rays appear to diverge from a point without actually doing so. Unlike real images, virtual images cannot be projected onto a screen. However, virtual images can be seen indirectly through reflections, such as when you see your reflection in a mirror. Virtual images can also be photographed, like when you take a picture of your reflection in a plane mirror. Therefore, the correct answer is c. Yes, virtual images can be seen indirectly through reflections.
