i) Virtual Image. Avirtual imageis a reproduction of an object via light that is formed where the light rays cross when projected back from their path beyond a lens or mirror. Avirtual imageonly exists within the brain of the observer, but is said to exist at the perceived point of intersection.

ii) The name of mirror is convex mirror.

iii) However, onlyvirtualimage formed by a spherical concave mirror is erect, and only if the object is placed closer to the mirror than its focal point.Basically, this is the same case as with convex lens, except the object must be placed in front of the mirror.
