A virtual image is always formed on the same side of the lens as the original object, and it is right side up. This type of image cannot be projected onto a screen, as it is the result of the apparent divergence of light rays.
A concave mirror with its object placed between the focal point and the mirror forms a virtual image of the same size. This image is upright and located behind the mirror.
A regular reflection forms an image that is identical in size and shape to the original object, but appears to be reversed left to right.
The size of the image is a scaled representation of the original object, typically smaller or larger. The relationship between the size of the image and the size of the original object is determined by the magnification factor of the optical system used to capture the image.
A concave lens forms a virtual image of an object located at a distance greater than the focal length of the lens. The image is always upright and reduced in size compared to the object.
The difference is that when virtual image is formed by the concave mirror...it is larger than its original size..but when it is formed by the convex mirror..it is smaller than the original size....

virtual, erect and diminished
Whenever a real image is formed by a real object,the image is always inverted. for eg when light rays from infinity falls on convex lens it forms a real and inverted image at focal plane.
A concave lens always forms a virtual, upright, and reduced image regardless of object position. The image is located on the same side as the object and cannot be projected onto a screen.
A plane mirror doesn't 'really' form an image at all. The image is 'virtual', not 'real'. You see what appears to be an image. It's located at the same distance behind the reflecting surface as the actual object is in front of it. If a real image exists, you can always put a piece of frosted glass, photo-film, or tissue paper where the image is, and capture it. You can't do that with a plane mirror.
A reflected image is a mirror image of the original object. It appears to be flipped horizontally along a mirror line. All angles in the reflected image are equal to the corresponding angles in the original object.
When object is within the focal distance then virtual image is formed. But when the object is placed beyond the focus of the covex lens ie if the distance of the object is more than focal length then real image is formed.
No, it is not possible to perform two reflections of an object that result in the final image being identical to the original image, unless the object is already symmetrical. Reflections change the orientation of the object, so multiple reflections will create a different image.
