propertise of image formed by plain mirror
Answers
Answer:
When a ray of light falls on a surface, then it can undergo one of the following three phenomena reflection, refraction, or absorption. When it falls on a normal surface than most of the light gets absorbed. So mirrors are polished surfaces coated with mercury such that they reflect most of the light falling on them. Now based on the type of reflecting surface we can classify mirrors as concave, convex, or plane mirror. Here we will be talking about the plane mirror only. So to form an image we require at least two rays from the object which meet or appear to meet at a point. In the case of a plane mirror, here we have used three images for better clarity in the ray.
Answer:
Characteristics of the image formed by a plane mirror :
(i) the image formed is erect.
(ii) the image is of the same size as that of the object.
(iii) the image is laterally inverted. Right side appear to be left and left side appeared to be right.
(iv) the image formed is as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
if you got the right answer then just like it
