When you project an image onto a screen, if it is real you can see the image on the screen, if it is virtual then you cant.
To determine if an image is real or virtual, check if the light rays actually converge at the image point (real) or appear to diverge from it (virtual). To determine if the image is upright or inverted, check the orientation of the object and image along the optical axis. To determine if the image is enlarged or reduced, compare the size of the object and the image formed by the lens or mirror.
A virtual image can be seen on a screen when the light rays from the object converge to form the image on the screen, even though the image is not actually located at that point.
One can determine whether an image is real or virtual by examining details such as lighting, shadows, reflections, and inconsistencies in the image. Real images typically have more natural lighting and shadows, while virtual images may have perfect lighting and lack of shadows. Additionally, looking for any digital artifacts or inconsistencies in the image can also help differentiate between real and virtual images.
virtual image ( not on screen, brain interpreting)
Yes, a virtual image can be projected onto a screen by using a converging lens or a concave mirror. This type of image appears to be located behind the mirror or lens, as the light rays do not actually converge at the position of the image. By placing a screen at the location of the virtual image, the image can be displayed.

If an image can be formed on screen it is classified as real. Virtual images cannot be projected on an image.

Real images can be obtained on the screen,whereas virtual images can't be obtained on the screen

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.
A virtual image is formed when light rays appear to intersect after being reflected or refracted. It cannot be projected onto a screen. A real image is formed when light rays actually intersect at a specific point after being reflected or refracted. It can be projected onto a screen.
Definitely possible to photograph it. But you cannot catch the image on a screen but virtual image can be seen by eyes. So photograph too is possible.
A plain mirror produces a virtual image. This means the image appears to be behind the mirror and cannot be projected onto a screen.
A real image is formed when light rays actually converge at a point, creating an image that can be projected onto a screen. A virtual image, on the other hand, is formed by the apparent intersection of the extended light rays, and cannot be projected onto a screen.
