Detailed explanation-1: -The image formed by a plane mirror is always virtual (meaning that the light rays do not actually come from the image), upright, and of the same shape and size as the object it is reflecting. A virtual image is a copy of an object formed at the location from which the light rays appear to come.

Detailed explanation-2: -Virtual images are images that are formed in locations where light does not actually reach. Light does not actually pass through the location on the other side of the plane mirror; it only appears to an observer as though the light were coming from this position.

Detailed explanation-3: -(b) A virtual image is an image formed when the outgoing rays from a point on an object always diverge. The image appears to be located at the point of apparent divergence. Because the rays never really converge, a virtual image cannot be projected onto a screen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Virtual image is the image which forms when the light rays appear to meet at a point after the reflection. These images cannot be obtained on a screen and hence termed as virtual image. Real images are formed when the light rays actually meet at a point after the reflection.

Detailed explanation-5: -In order to get a real image the image distance must be positive. The numerator see must be positive since both quantities are negative. And the denominator is positive if the magnitude of the focal length of diverging lens is greater than the virtual object distance. This gives us a real image.
