In the case of a plane mirror, the image is formed by the reflection of light rays. When an object, such as the man, stands in front of the mirror, light rays from the object reflect off the mirror’s surface.

In the case of plane mirrors, the image is said to be a virtual image. Virtual images are images that are formed in locations where light does not actually reach. Light does not actually pass through the location on the other side of the mirror; it only appears to an observer as though the light is coming from this location. Whenever a mirror (whet...
Besides the fact that plane mirror images are virtual, there are several other characteristics that are worth noting. The second characteristic has to do with the orientation of the image. If you view an image of yourself in a plane mirror (perhaps a bathroom mirror), you will quickly notice that there is an apparent left-right reversal of the imag...
A third characteristic of plane mirror images pertains to the relationship between the object's distance to the mirror and the image's distance to the mirror. For plane mirrors, the object distance (often represented by the symbol do) is equal to the image distance (often represented by the symbol di). That is the image is the same distance behind ...
A fourth and final characteristic of plane mirror images is that the dimensions of the image are the same as the dimensions of the object. If a 1.6-meter tall person stands in front of a mirror, he/she will see an image that is 1.6-meters tall. If a penny with a diameter of 18-mm is placed in front of a plane mirror, the image of the penny has a di...
Apr 18, 2024 · The characteristics of the image formed by the plane mirror is mentioned below: The image formed through the plane mirror is always virtual (the image that cannot be obtained on-screen) and erect (Upright or straight).
Describe how an image is formed by a plane mirror. Distinguish between real and virtual images. Find the location and characterize the orientation of an image created by a plane mirror.
The image formed in a plane mirror is of the same size as the object. The image formed by a plane mirror is erect. The image in a plane mirror is laterally inverted. We have studied the characteristics of images formed by a plane mirror in detail in Class VII. Here we will explain the various characteristics of an image formed by a plane mirror ...

Nature and Characteristics of Image Formed by a Plane Mirror. When we look into a mirror held in our hand, we see our face. What we see in the mirror is actually a ‘reflection’ of our face and it is called ‘image’ of our face. Thus, when we look into a mirror, we see the image of our face in it.
