In case of a concave lens the only possibility is that when parallel rays make an entry then they have to diverge. NO diverging rays can form a real image on a screen as they could not meet at a point. If the already diverging rays make an entry then they get diverged further and so no chance of getting real image. Hence the diverging rays appear to originate from a point on the same side of the object and so a virtual image.
In case of a convex lens if the object is placed in between the optic centre and the focal plane then the refracting rays have to diverge and so virtual image.
This is what a palmist does as he uses to see the lines on the palm to foretell the future.

What do you call an image created in a mirror?
Its called a virtual image.
Is the image you see in a plane mirror a real image or a virtual image?
virtual :-)
Does a Convex mirror form a virtual or real image?
A virtual image.
What is an image your brain perceives even through no light rays pass through the image?
A Virtual Image
Is using a plane mirror to form virtual image one of its uses?
A plane mirror forms a virtual image. If it's reflected, then the light does not come from the image, and it is virtual.
What is a difference between a real image and virtual image?
Virtual is not what a human eye can see enot like a reael image
What type of image a mirage is?
a virtual image
Does a diverging lens create a virtual image or a real image?
it will always create a virtual image because when you extend its light rays, they diverge and never end up intersecting. But if you extend these light ray backwards, they intersect to create a upright image which will always be virtual
Does a flat mirror produce a real or virtual image?
virtual image ( not on screen, brain interpreting)
What type of lens form a virtual image?
A convex lense forms only a virtual image.
When an object is inside the focal point of a concave mirror what kind of image always results?
An upright image, which is called a virtual image. If the focal point was outside of a concave mirror, then it would be a real image, which is inverted.
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.
