Correct Answer - Option 2 : virtual image

The correct answer is virtual image.

  • An image that cannot be obtained on a screen is called a virtual image.
  • Images are of two types: real images and virtual images.
  • Real images are formed on a screen, whereas virtual images cannot be obtained on the screen.
