An image is called real if the light rays coming from a point(point on object) meet at a point after reflection or refraction.
An image is virtual if the light rays do not actually meet after reflection or refraction. These rays appear to come from a point which is the point where we say virtual image is formed.

Is the image you see in a plane mirror a real image or a virtual image?
virtual :-)
How can a real image be distinguished from a virtual image and can each type of image be projected on screen?
If an image can be formed on screen it is classified as real. Virtual images cannot be projected on an image.
Differentiate real image from virtual image?
Real images can be obtained on the screen,whereas virtual images can't be obtained on the screen
What are the three use of a plain mirror?
to see our face to make real image to make virtual image
What does a negative magnification correspond to?
The image is inverted and virtual.
Is the image you see in a plane mirror a real image or a virtual image?
virtual :-)
Do cameras have a real or virtual image?
They have a real image.
How can a real image be distinguished from a virtual image and can each type of image be projected on screen?
If an image can be formed on screen it is classified as real. Virtual images cannot be projected on an image.
Differentiate real image from virtual image?
Real images can be obtained on the screen,whereas virtual images can't be obtained on the screen
How do you determine whether the images are real or virtual upright or inverted and enlarged or reduced?
To determine if an image is real or virtual, check if the light rays actually converge at the image point (real) or appear to diverge from it (virtual). To determine if the image is upright or inverted, check the orientation of the object and image along the optical axis. To determine if the image is enlarged or reduced, compare the size of the object and the image formed by the lens or mirror.
Is the image formed on a camera film real or virtual?
Real!
Can plane and convex mirrors produce real image?
no it does not produce real image . it produce virtual and erect image
How can you use a screen to determine whether an image is real or virtual?
You can't determine whether an image is real or virtual just by looking at it on a screen - both types can appear identical. To determine if an image is real or virtual, you would need additional information such as its source or creation process.
does a plane mirror produces a real image?
"Real" and "virtual" are two opposite, mutually exclusive categories of images. An image is either one or the other, and no image can be both. The image produced by a plane mirror is a virtual one.
Can a plane mirror form a real image if the object is virtual?
No, a plane mirror will always produce a virtual image regardless of whether the object is real or virtual. The image appears to be behind the mirror and is not a real image that can be projected onto a screen.
What kind of image does a converging lens produce?
A converging lens produces a real or virtual image, depending on the location of the object with respect to the focal point. Real images are inverted and can be projected onto a screen, while virtual images are upright and cannot be projected.
Pictures of real image formed by plane mirror?
A real image is not formed by a plane mirror, as it only produces virtual images. Virtual images appear to be behind the mirror, and you can't project them onto a screen. When you look into a mirror, you see the virtual image of yourself that appears to be the same distance behind the mirror as you are in front of it.
