Virtual image is a term used in Optics and Physics . It is a representation of an actual object (source) formed by diverging Rays of Light which seem to originate from the Image , but in reality do not cross at that position. A screen or an observer placed where a virtual image appears to be cannot actually "see" it.

For example, a Plane or Convex Mirror forms a virtual image positioned behind the mirror. Although rays of light seem to come from behind the mirror, light from the source spreads and exists only in front of the mirror.
