Question

How can you describe the image formed by a plane mirror? a. inverted and reversed c. upright and reversed b. inverted and not reversed d. upright and not reversed

Answer 1

Upright and reversed due to its infinite focal point.

Answer 2

c. upright and reversed

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that plane mirror is a mirror with infinite focal length

So here as the object is placed at some distance from the mirror

so we can say by mirror formula

`(1)/(d_i) + (1)/(d_o) = (1)/(f)`

now since focal length is infinite here

`d_o = -d_i`

so here object and its image will be at same distance as the distance of object from the mirror

Also we know that here magnification is given as

`M = 1`

so image will be upright and virtual. Also in case of plane mirror the image will be lateral inversion.
