Light 2

Objects that emit light of their own are called Luminous objects. For example - Sun, stars etc. Whereas objects that do not emit light but are visible because light from other sources fall on them are called Non-luminous objects. For example - moon, chair, table, wall etc.
If light rays coming from an object meet or appear to meet at a point after reflection or refraction, then that point is called image of the object. If the rays actually meet then that is called a real image, and if the rays appear to meet then that is a virtual image.
