During early classes we are taught that real image of a real object is inverted with respect to the object. Similarly virtual image of a real object is erect with respect to object. My doubt is that can we make a similar analogy for a virtual image of a virtual object and what would it be?

PS: please do not quote the example of two plane mirrors with an object in between them for this. Here I am oriented towards lens and curved mirrors.

So you want to see for example the virtual image from a curved mirror with a lens? Why not just sketch a few beams of light and see yourself, that the second virtual picture is also erect.

  • $\begingroup$ the answer that the second virtual image is also erect was included. Why should an answer not suggest how you can find it yourself? $\endgroup$
