Hello @AnnanasSuperbe6429,
What about if the image is on the otherside of the mirror. If the di is negative? This would mean that the image is VIRTUAL and hens BEHIND the mirror, corect?
So this means that if the image is VIRTUAL when dealing with MIRRORS di is not only negitive but hens must be BEHIND the MIRROR.
If the image is VIRTUAL when dealing with LENS di is not only negative but hens must be in FRONT of the LENS.
Therefore, VIRTUAL Image = negative di = FRONT of LENS
Am I correct?

Hi PeacefulPumpkin8091,
Exactly, is the image is located on the other side of the miror, it is a virtual image and di is negative. Here is an exmaple with a virtual image located on the other side of the miror:

In the case of a lens, if di is negative, this means the image is situated on the same side as the object and that it is virtual, so you are correct again :)
Don't hesitate if you have other questions :)
