Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
A virtual image cannot be obtained on the screen because the virtual formed on the screen is due to the light rays that do not meet but appear to meet at a point when the rays are produced backwards. The virtual image formed is always erect and is never inverted. To understand it, practically stand in front of a mirror. The image formed in the mirror is always virtual and erect. The main difference between a real and a virtual image is that a real image can be taken on a screen, whereas a virtual image cannot be taken on a screen.
The correct statement would be, a virtual image cannot be taken on a screen.
