If we stand in front of a plane mirror why our image is not the same as the real image?
When a real image is formed at a point, the light rays actually meet at that point. That is why we can capture a real image on the screen.
In a virtual image, the light rays appear to be coming from a point, but they do not actually come from that point.
When an object is kept in front of a plane mirror, light appears to be coming from behind the mirror. Actually light does not come from behind the mirror. It only gets reflected at the mirror surface and seems to be coming from behind. So it is a virtual image.
