Answer:
Summary. A plane mirror always forms a virtual image (behind the mirror). The image and object are the same distance from a flat mirror, the image size is the same as the object size, and the image is upright.
When a object is placed in front of a plane mirror:
- The distance from the image formed to the mirror and the distance from the object to the mirror is the same.
- The image is erect and Virtual.
- The image is laterally inverted.

Real and Virtual images :
The images which can be obtained on a screen are said to be real. Images which cannot be obtained on a screen is said to be virtual. In mirrors, the image is formed BEHIND the mirror and not ON the mirror, hence we say the image is virtual.

Lateral Inversion :
The image formed by a plane mirror is laterally inverted. Left appears as right and right appears as left.
