When an image is virtual, it means the light seems to be coming from a specific source but it is not. So yes you can take a picture of it because the light is still going into the camera as if it was coming from an object. To put it another way, because we "see" a virtual image with our eyes a camera can take a picture of one. After all, a picture is just a permanent record of what is falling on the back of our eye balls.

What is the difference between real and virtual image?
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
What are the Lens that can create a real or virtual image?
Convex lens. Concave lens would give only virtual image for real objects.
What is the difference between double convex lens from double concave lens?
Convex lens give a virtual & diminished image while concave lens give inverted virtual in rare case & magnified image.
Compare the image formed by a concave lens and the image formed by a convex mirror?
the image formed by convex lens are real but the images formed by concave lens are virtual concave mirror are commonly used in to torches search light and vehicles headlights to get powerful parallel beam of light they are often used as a wing a to see a larger image of the face the dentist use a concave mirrors to see larger image of that is open send large can give are used to concentrate sunlight to produce heat in solar furnace
Why are convex mirrors used in rear view mirrors?
It is because image formed by an convex mirror is always virtual, erect and smaller than the object. They are more helpful than the plane mirror because they give a wider view.

What are virtual and real images and what is the difference between them?
Here we have to note down an interesting point. If we have a source of light, then the rays starting right from the source would be diverging definitely. Hence if the rays coming from a source is of diverging type then the source is a real one. If otherwise the rays assumed coming from a source is converging type then we can declare that the source would be a virtual one. Same manner to form an image on a screen the rays have to converge. So converging rays would give definitely a real image. If the rays which are destined to give an image are of diverging type then the image must be termed as virtual. To get the position of the virtual image we have to extend back the rays so as they meet at a point and we say that the rays appear to diverge from that point hence named as virtual image. Thus we generalize this way. In case of source if rays are of diverging then source is real, if converging then source is virtual. In case of image formation, if rays are converging then real image and if diverging then virtual image. This is the cute point to be realized and to be taught to the students of this generation.
How do images formed by a concave lens and convex mirror compare?
Both give diminished, virtual, erect image. Hence convex mirror is used as rear view glass in case of vehicles near by the drivers. Concave lens is used to correct short sightedness.
Which kind of mirror can give a realvirtual and a magnified image?
Mirrors that gives an enlarged image are basically a regular mirror just it has magnified glass.; Actually, it is a concave mirror, not a convex mirror, that is used to give an enlarged image.
Does a eyepiece of a telescope have a lens?
A telescope eyepiece usually has 2 lenses in an astronomical telescope, and it is designed to give a magnified view of the virtual image produced at the focal point of the main lens.
What is the relationship of the size of object and image to the distance of the object and image?
image distance is the distance from the point of incidence on the mirror, the where the image is reflected to.object distance is the distance from the actual object being reflected to the point of incidence on the mirror where it's reflected as an image.
Give an instance or a situation that describe a parallax error?
in optical instruments,while measuring the lenght,the object and the image must overlap,if not it would show parallax error.
How light reflects off a mirror to give your eye an image of yourself when you use a mirror?
Light will bounce off the surface of a polished mirror in the same angle of incidence, but the way you see it, it's as if the image formed behind the mirror surface.
