A plane mirror forms a virtual image. A virtual image is one that cannot be projected onto a screen because the light rays do not actually converge at the location of the image; they only appear to diverge from that point. A real image, conversely, is formed where light rays actually converge and can be projected onto a screen (like the image formed by a projector or on the retina of the eye). All other statements are true properties of images formed by plane mirrors.

– Plane mirrors form virtual images.
– Virtual images cannot be projected onto a screen.
– Real images are formed by converging rays and can be projected.

Properties of image formed by a plane mirror: virtual, erect, laterally inverted, same size as object, and same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front.
