virtual images
Plane mirrors produce virtual images that are upright and laterally inverted (left to right). These images cannot be projected on a screen and appear to be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
Vectometers typically use concave mirrors to reflect light and produce virtual images. These mirrors are designed to focus the light onto the viewing screen, allowing for accurate measurements to be taken.
A plane mirror is a type of mirror that has a flat surface, whereas a mirror is a broad term used to describe any reflective surface. Plane mirrors reflect images with virtually no distortion, while mirrors can come in various shapes and sizes like concave or convex mirrors with specific reflective properties.
Concave mirrors can produce virtual upright images that are smaller than the original object when the object is placed beyond the focal point of the mirror. This type of image is formed due to the behavior of light rays reflecting off the mirror surface and converging at a point.
Some types of mirrors include plane mirrors, concave mirrors, and convex mirrors. Plane mirrors have flat surfaces, concave mirrors curve inward like the inside of a bowl, and convex mirrors curve outward like the outside of a bowl. Each type of mirror has unique properties that affect how they reflect light.

Concave mirrors can produce both real and virtual images, depending on the object's position. However, convex mirrors are the type that can only produce virtual images, regardless of the object's distance from the mirror. This is because the reflected rays diverge, making it impossible to form a real image. The virtual images produced by convex mirrors are upright and smaller than the actual object.

Concave mirrors can produce real images when the object is placed beyond the focal point of the mirror. This type of mirror converges light rays to a point, creating a real image that can be projected onto a screen.
Spherical mirrors can form either real or virtual images depending on their design. Concave mirrors can form real images that are inverted if the object is placed beyond the mirror's focal point. Convex mirrors always produce virtual images that are upright and smaller than the actual object. The image characteristics will vary based on the object's distance from the mirror and the type of mirror being used.
Mirrors can form two types of images: real and virtual. Real images are produced by concave mirrors when the object is located beyond the focal point, and they can be projected onto a screen. In contrast, virtual images are formed by convex mirrors and concave mirrors when the object is within the focal point; these images cannot be projected and appear to be located behind the mirror. Virtual images are upright and smaller than the actual object, while real images can be inverted and larger or smaller depending on the object's distance from the mirror.
Mirrors can reflect light rays, changing their direction without altering their wavelengths. Lenses can refract light rays, bending them as they pass through the lens and converging or diverging them to form images. Mirrors can create virtual or real images depending on the curvature, while lenses can produce real, virtual, upright, or inverted images based on the lens type and object distance.
Concave mirrors produce the most accurate reflection because they converge light rays towards a focal point, creating a clear and magnified image. This type of mirror is often used in telescopes and shaving mirrors for precision reflection.
