Solution
Images are of two types: real images and virtual images.
Real images are formed on a screen, whereas virtual images cannot be formed on the screen.
Virtual images cannot be obtained on the screen because the image formed is from the light rays that do not meet but appear to meet when they are produced backward.
Hence, An image that cannot be obtained on a screen is called a virtual image.
