Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Image formed by a plane mirror is
A
virtual and erect
B
real and erect
C
virtual and inverted
D
real and inverted
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plane mirrors always produce an image that is virtual, erect, laterally inverted and of the same size as the object. Also, the image distance from the mirror is always equal to the object distance from the mirror.

Detailed explanation-2: -Characteristics of the image formed by a plane mirror: It is virtual, i.e., it is formed behind the mirror without the actual intersection of light rays. It is erect, which means up straight. The image is laterally inverted, i.e., it is reversed from left to right.

Detailed explanation-3: -The image formed by a plane mirror is always virtual (meaning that the light rays do not actually come from the image), upright, and of the same shape and size as the object it is reflecting. A virtual image is a copy of an object formed at the location from which the light rays appear to come.

Detailed explanation-4: -The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual, it is formed by tracing back the rays. The position of the image is behind the mirror. The image formed is erect, that is right-side up. It is the same size as the object.

Detailed explanation-5: -Convex mirror always produces erect and virtual images. The image formed is diminished, i.e. the size of the image is smaller than the size of the object.
