Answer 2

Real images we can capture on screen .

Virtual images we cannot capture on screen .

According to the position of the object in concave mirror the image is real , virtual or both sometimes formed the image .

In convex mirrors always the image forms virtual image only .

Example for real image :-
Photos took by camera , Bathrooms and bedrooms mirrors.

Example for convex mirrors :-
Rearer view mirrors of vehicles , shaving machines , monuments etc .

In concave mirrors :-
Image will be real when object is placed beyond C , on C , between C & F
Here C means center of the curvature , F means focal point .

virtual image will form when object is placed between F & P .


In convex mirror where ever we keep the object it forms always virtual image only .
