State the Characteristics of the Image Formed by a Plane Mirror

AnswerA plane mirror is a mirror with a flat surface that reflects light and forms a virtual image without interference from curvature on either the inside or the outside of the mirror.

Image characteristics created by a planar mirror are

  • The produced picture is upright.
  • The picture is reversed laterally.
  • The picture has the same dimensions as the thing.
  • The picture is reversed laterally. The right side looked to be on the left, while the left appeared to be on the right.
  • The picture generated is reflected from the same distance behind the mirror as the item is in front of it.
