Detailed explanation-1: -A plane mirror always forms a virtual image of an object, because the image formed by a plane mirror cannot be obtained on the screen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Real images are formed when light rays converge to form the image. Only concave mirrors can form real images. Even though the image formed by a plane mirror is upright, it is laterally inverted. In other words, the left and right sides of an object are reversed in the image formed by a plane mirror.
Detailed explanation-3: -The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual, it is formed by tracing back the rays. The position of the image is behind the mirror. The image formed is erect, that is right-side up. It is the same size as the object.
Detailed explanation-4: -The image behind the mirror is called a virtual image because it cannot be projected onto a screen-the rays only appear to originate from a common point behind the mirror.
Detailed explanation-5: -A concave mirror can produce both real and virtual images.
