How does a real image differ from a virtual image?

Answers:
A real image is always upright and never inverted.


A real image is formed by extending the rays back to where they appear to come from.


A virtual image is always smaller than the object.


Light rays actually pass through a real image.

Answer:

Real images are obtained using a converging lens or a concave mirror. The size of the real image depends upon the placement of the object. A virtual image is an upright image that is achieved where the rays seem to diverge. A virtual image is produced with the help of a diverging lens or a convex mirror.

Answer:

Light rays actually pass through a real image.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option C is somehow correct but the hurdle is that it's only for convex mirror

The concave mirror always produce a virtual image larger than object

So option D is correct
