how the image is formed by a plane mirror? Explain with the help of a diagram
Answers
Explanation:
The image formed by a plane mirror is always virtual (meaning that the light rays do not actually come from the image), upright, and of the same shape and size as the object it is reflecting. ... If a person is reflected in a plane mirror, the image of his right hand appears to be the left hand of the image.
Explanation:
Consider a point source of light O placed on a plane mirror MM'. A ray of light OA coming from O is incident at point A on the mirror and gets reflected in the direction AX according to the law of reflection of light. Another ray of light OB coming from O strikes the mirror at a point B and gets reflected in the direction BY. Rays AX and BY, on producing backwards, meet at point I behind the mirror, which is the image of point source O.
