virtual

When light rays diverge in front of a mirror, a virtual image is formed. A virtual image is formed by your brain tracing diverging rays backwards and is kind of a trick, like the person you see behind a mirrors surface when you brush your teeth  there's obviously no real light focused behind a mirror! . Since virtual images arent actually anywhere, you cant place photographic film anywhere to capture them.
