Answer Details
The image which cannot be formed on a screen is said to be a virtual image. A virtual image is an image that appears to be behind the mirror or lens and cannot be projected onto a screen. It is formed by the apparent intersection of the light rays that are reflected or refracted by a mirror or lens. The rays of light do not actually converge to a point but only appear to do so. Virtual images are always erect (upright) and are usually smaller than the object. Examples of objects that produce virtual images include mirrors, lenses, and some optical instruments such as microscopes and telescopes.
