An image that is formed when light rays actually meet
Real Image
An image that appears to be in a location where light does not really reach
Virtual Image
A convex lens that magnifies objects
Magnifying Glass
A lens, often concave, used in cameras to focus light and create an image
Camera Lens
The complete reflection of a ray of light within a medium from the surrounding surfaces back into the medium
Total Internal Reflection
An illusion caused by the physical processes that determine perception, especially refraction
Optical Illusion
The shape of a lens, which affects how it refracts light and forms images
Lens Shape
A device that uses a combination of lenses to magnify small objects
Microscope
A device that uses lenses and/or mirrors to gather light from distant objects and focus it to create an image
