When are real images produced?

The difference between a real image and a virtual image is that light rays actually converge upon each point of the real image, whereas they just "seem" to converge on a virtual image. A good example is how concave mirrors (like the inside of a spoon) tend to make objects appear closer by creating a real image of convergent light rays in front of the mirror. A convex mirror (like the back of a spoon) tends to make things look farther away by dispersing and diverging light rays so that when your brain follows the diverging lines, you think they should converge behind the spoon, even though they really don't. That's a virtual image. This whole concept is easier to understand visually. Try using a search engine to see pictures of real vs. virtual images.

What kind of image appear behind mirrors?

Your question isn't really clear. In one interpretation - you don't get an image behind a good mirror, as good mirrors aren't transparent. As close to all light that hits the front of the mirror as to make no difference will be bounced back the way it came. Now, if you have a poor mirror, some light will actually continue through, and the image visible behind the mirror would be as if there was a window instead of a mirror - only a lot weaker.
