Best Answer

A real image is formed when light rays coming from a point* after reflection meet at a point.

Light rays coming from a point are always diverging, so after reflection by a plane mirror also they remain diverging and never meet. We need to use an optical device that can converge the rays to get a real image.

* Its strictly a point not an extended object.
