Final answer:

Yes, you can see a virtual image and yes, you can photograph it because a camera captures light rays just as our eyes do, allowing it to record virtual images reflected from surfaces like flat mirrors.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is related to the concept of virtual images and whether they can be seen and photographed. To explain the answers to Part A and B: yes, you can see a virtual image because it is a reproduction of light rays that come from a reflection off surfaces like mirrors, giving the appearance of an image formed in a location where light does not really come from. For Part B, yes, a virtual image can also be photographed because a camera can capture the light rays coming from the virtual image exactly as our eyes would see them, allowing for the photographing of the reflection from a flat mirror.

Reflecting on the question 'Can you see a virtual image?', the correct answer is option A: yes. You indeed can see virtual images as they are what our eyes perceive when looking at a reflection in a mirror. Addressing the question 'Can you photograph one?', the correct answer is also yes, explained by the fact that a camera's lens will focus the light from the virtual image similar to how our eyes do, thus able to capture and record the image.
