When you look through a magnifying glass are you seeing a real or virtual image? how do you know?

Question

its a virtual image right?

Answer 1

The magnified image is a virtual one - it cannot be projected onto a surface, it can only be observed through the lens. This occurs when the imaged object is closer to the lens than its focal length. If the object is further than the focal length, a real image is formed - this is the inverted image you see when you just hold the lens up and look into the distance, or the effect you get using a lens to concentrate sunlight to light fires. A real image can be projected onto a surface and observed without looking through the lens.

Answer 6

The lense is concave so it must be real.

(You'd be looking at the object outside the focal length, if you were looking at the image inside the focal length it would be virtual.)

real
