It can be OBTAINED ON A SCREEN
In case of mirror, the image lies in front of the reflecting surface.
In case of lens, the image lies on the other side of the object.
VIRTUAL-
It usually appears ERECT
It CANNOT be obtained on a screen
In case of a mirror, the image lies behind the mirror
In case of lens, the image lies on the same side of the object

Answer / guest
When a pencil of ray, diverging from a point, after
reflection and refraction, actually passes through a second
point that second point is called the real image of the
first point.
When a pencil of rays after reflection; and refraction only
appear to pass through a point, the image is said to be virtual.
The difference between the two is that if a image can be
received upon a screen while a virtual image cannot be
received on a screen but can only be seen by the eye.

Answer / ditsarona pogiso
For the image to be real light rays from the has to meet
and end at a point, while for the image to be virtual the
light rays has to meet and then diverge.
