A plain mirror produces a virtual image. This means the image appears to be behind the mirror and cannot be projected onto a screen.
The mirror produces a virtual image, which means it appears to be behind the mirror at the same distance as the object in front of the mirror. This virtual image is upright and the same size as the object.
"Real" and "virtual" are two opposite, mutually exclusive categories of images. An image is either one or the other, and no image can be both. The image produced by a plane mirror is a virtual one.
When the incident light rays are falling towards the mirror in such a way that the light rays after falling on the mirror meet at any point in front of the mirror than an image is formed in front of the mirror which can be taken on a screen and as the image can be taken on a screen it is known as a real image. So, plane mirrors can form real images.
virtual image ( not on screen, brain interpreting)
A convex mirror always forms a virtual image, meaning that the light rays appear to be coming from a point behind the mirror. Thus, a real image is never formed by a convex mirror.
to see our face to make real image to make virtual image
A plane (flat) mirror reflects an image which is the same size and shape, and colour as the object in front of the mirror. A concave mirror can produce a magnified image. If the image is in front of the mirror it is a real image; if behind it is a virtual (non-real) image. A real image can be cast upon a white the best) surface

No, a plane mirror will always produce a virtual image regardless of whether the object is real or virtual. The image appears to be behind the mirror and is not a real image that can be projected onto a screen.
real and upright image
A real image is formed by a concave mirror when the object is placed beyond the focal point of the mirror. A virtual image is formed when the object is placed between the mirror and the focal point.
Yes, a concave mirror can produce both virtual and real images. When the object is placed beyond the focal point, a real inverted image is formed. When the object is placed between the mirror and the focal point, a virtual upright image is produced.
