Question
Which of the following is incorrect about the image formed by a plane mirror?
- It is virtual and upright
- Increases
It is of the same size as the object
- It is laterally inverted
- It is real and inverted
Hint:
The image is the same as the object.
The correct answer is: It is real and inverted
- The most common mirrors are plane mirrors.
- It is virtual i.e Occurs behind the mirror without the rays actually intersecting.
- The image is upright.
- The image is flipped horizontally i.e lateral inversion is observed.
- The size of the image corresponds to the size of the object.
- The distance from the plane mirror to the object is equal to the distance from the plane mirror to the image

An incident ray goes along the reflecting surface. The angle of reflection is ____ degrees.
When the angle along the reflecting surface , the incident ray is perpendicular to the reflecting surface. We know by the first law of reflection that angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection . Here, the angle of incidence is 90 degrees so the angle of reflection will also be 90 degrees.
