Compared to a virtual image, a real image can be observed on a screen.

Explanation

When a beam of light meets at a specific point after the reflection from the mirror, the image formed at the point is said to be a real image.

Real images are generally inverted.

When a beam of light seems to appear to meet at a certain point after the reflection from the mirror, the image formed at the point is said to be a virtual image.

Virtual images are generally erect.
