In optics, a virtual image is an image in which the outgoing rays from a point on the object never actually intersect at a visable point. However, if these rays were stretched out they would intersect at a point behind the mirror/surface.
What type of image does a flat mirror form?Virtual image
Convex lens produces both real and virtual images. But concave lens produces only virtual images for real objects. If object is virtual then real image could be produced by a concave lens.
When light rays come together, they converge.

Because when you extend the light rays, they diverge and never meet. so you must always extend the light rays back behind the object, this will always result in the image being upright and erect. Meaning it will always be virtual, never real.
Its called a virtual image.
virtual :-)
A virtual image is always upright in relation to the object.
A negative sign is associated with a virtual image because the light rays do not actually converge at the location of the virtual image. Instead, they appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror or lens, creating the virtual image. Mathematically, this distance is represented as negative to indicate the direction of the virtual image.
A plane mirror forms a virtual image. If it's reflected, then the light does not come from the image, and it is virtual.

A convex lense forms only a virtual image.
If an image can be formed on screen it is classified as real. Virtual images cannot be projected on an image.

They have a real image.
Virtual 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
