Answers
Answer:
1. The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal do not lie on the same plane. - False
⟶ The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal always lie on the same plane.
2. The image formed by a plane mirror can be captured on a screen placed behind the mirror - False
⟶ The image formed by a plane mirror cannot be captured on a screen placed behind the mirror.
3. If you raise your right hand, your image in a plane mirror also raises its right hand. - False
⟶ If we raise our right hand, our image in a plane mirror seems to be raising its left hand.
Explanation:
1. According to the property of a plane mirror, the incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal will always lie on the same plane.
2. The image formed by a plane mirror cannot be obtained on a screen because the images formed by a plane mirror is virtual and erect. The rays seem to be meeting on a point but they don't actually meet. Hence the image formed by a plane mirror cannot be obtained or captured on a screen kept behind the mirror.
3. The image formed by a plane mirror is laterally inverted. Hence when we raise our right hand, it seems that our image is raising its left hand.
