The main difference between a real object and virtual object is that

- A real object is really present in front of a optical instrument (means like eyes)

And

- A virtual object is what that is created by means of a optical instrument .

Hope this is right candle on the cake.

An object is a point of intersection of incident rays. Again, if this point of intersection lies on the incident side, it will be real; but if it lies on the other side , it will be virtual. Treating an object as virtual helps us to get allocate an object when physically there is none, as in the case of light rays converging towards a lens or mirror.

hope u understood.............best regards
