Real image can be caught on a screen. But virtual cannot be caugtht so

Real image is formed due to convergence of rays but in case of virtual there are only diverging rays and so they appear to diverge from one point where virtual image is located

But both real and virtual could be seen by human eyes.

Same way real object would definitely give out diverging rays

But virtual object is considered as converging rays are assumed to come from such virtual object

Difference between real and virtual focus?

A real image can be captured on a screen (eg white paper) whereas a virtual image cannot.To see an image on a screen light rays must come to a focus on the screen, but with a virtual image no actual light rays come together at the location of the image .. hence a virtual image cannot be seen on a screen.A real image is a source of light energy .. rays of light radiate from it.A virtual image is not a source of light energy.. rays of light do not radiate from it ( although it's where the brain 'thinks' the light originated.)
