Does a Convex mirror form a virtual or real image?
A virtual image.
When does a convex mirror form real image?
never, image is virtual.
Why can't a convex mirror create a real image?
Because the focal point of the convex mirror will always be at a 'virtual' place. Convex mirrors focus the image at a definite point.
Can a convex mirror produce real images?
Yes, but it can be hard to arrange. You need to set up a real image as a virtual object, and make the convex mirror image that. If the rays converge strongly enough, they will still converge after reflecting off the convex mirror.
Describe the images formed in a concave mirror and in a convex mirror?
Here is a description of image formation in a concave mirror: if the object is beyond the center of curvature (F), the image formed is real and upside down; if the object is very near to the concave mirror, the image forms behind the mirror. It is virtual, upright, and bigger in size. Here is a description of image formation in a convex mirror: a convex mirror always produces a virtual, upright, and smaller image of the object at any distance in front of it. The image is located behind the mirror.
Does a concave mirror create a virtual image?
An virtual image is an image that is formed not by the intersection of two light beams, but it appears that these light beams intersect at some point. The optics of convex mirror doesn't allow the light beams to intersect at any position of object in relation to the mirror. Thus one can never get any real image using convex mirror
Why do you prefer convex mirror as a real veiw mirror in the vehicles?
It gives an erect image and as the image is dimished it would cover a wide range. Though the image is virtual it could be seen by human eyes. Because of all these we use convex mirror as a rear view mirror in vehicles.
What are the Lens that can create a real or virtual image?
Convex lens. Concave lens would give only virtual image for real objects.
Does a convex mirror form a virtual diminished and upright image for all real objects regardless of the location of the object?
Yes.
What types of image can concave mirrors from?
A concave mirror can show both vitual and real images, a plane mirror can show virtual and so can a convex mirror. 0.0
What are the three kinds of mirrors and what kind of images do they reflect?

Is the image you see in a plane mirror a real image or a virtual image?
virtual :-)
