Collect an example from real-life or from one of your other textbooks of an image being formed. Explain, in a sentence or two, the characteristics of your image as real/virtual, erect/inverted, and the absolute value of the magnification (>1, =1, <1).
*A real image can be caught on a screen whereas a virtual image cannot be caught on a screen.
