Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties of a virtual image:

1. Image formed cannot be projected or focused on a screen.

2. The distance of the object to the mirror is the same as the distance from the image to the mirror.

3. The size of the image formed is the same as the size of the object.

4. The image formed is laterally inverted. That is the right becomes left and vice versa.

5. The image is upright.

Properties of a real image:

1. Image formed can be projected on a screen.

2, The distance from the image to the mirror is not the same as the distance from the object to the mirror.

3. The size of the image is not the same as the size of the object.

4. Image formed is upside down.
