Explanation:
The best example of a virtual image is your reflection in the mirror. Real images are produced by intersecting rays while virtual images are produced by diverging rays. Real images can be projected on a screen while virtual ones cannot. Real images are formed by two opposite lens, concave and convex.
In case of plane mirror, the image is erect, virtual and of same size as the object. ... Give one situation where a virtual image is formed.
The image which cannot be obtained on a screen is called virtual image. For example, virtual image is always formed in case of plane mirror and convex mirror.
