Answer 1

Hint:
1. The images which can be seen on a screen are called real images. The image which cannot be obtained on a screen is called virtual images.
2. Virtual images can be seen only by cooking into a mirror or lens.

Complete step by step Solution:
Virtual images one image that cannot be obtained on a screen. For example the image of our face formed by a plane, a mirror cannot be obtained on a screen, it can be seen only by looking into the mirror, so the image of our face in a plane mirror is an example of a virtual image like that.
Virtual images can be obtained in many ways like when an object is kept in between the pole and focus of the concave mirror images formed by a convex mirror is also virtual. Virtual images are always erect.

Hence option (A) & (C) is correct.

2. Image formed by convex mirrors is always virtual & enact.
3. Image formed by a concave mirror is virtual only when it is placed between the pole & focus of the mirror otherwise real.
