The projection of a projector is a ____ image.

The correct answer is: Real

• Film projectors create a real image because multiple mirrors are used in film projectors. Light coming from the roll when focused on the first lens forms a real image and a reverse image.
• The light then hits the screen again, eventually forming an upright image on the screen.
• The image formed each time is inverted and the process is repeated twice so the final image is upright.
• The light is first bundled in a concave mirror to create a virtual image, then with the help of another concave mirror, the real and erect images are created.
